From the Dust Jacket: "FAITHFUL FRIENDS is a superb collection of the wonderfully diverse and prolific observations that have been recorded about dogs and their relations with us through the ages. The fruit of many years' research by a lifelong breeder and dogman, the sources here are as varied as the subjects they explore. FAITHFUL FRIENDS contains joyously funny, sometimes entrancing, often serious and informative descriptions that range from classical Greece to contemporary Britain and America, from sportsmen to breeders, philosophers to ploughmen, poets and politicians to kings. Here are the things worth saying about canine character, form and variety; friendship, fidelity and constancy; herding and hunting, rural pursuits and companionship. Many writers have commented on the camaraderie and good cheer whenever dog-lovers meet; their best work is given here. There are observations on the dog's extraordinarily acute senses and natural intelligence, and finally there are poignant and inventive epitaphs on the inevitable end of the friendship."
