Here, too, are humorous glimpses of the canine point of view, from O. Henry's tale of a dissatisfied lapdog's escape to P. G. Wodehouse's cheerfully na ve watchdog who simply wants everybody to get along. These writers and others--Ray Bradbury, Doris Lessing, Thomas McGuane, Rick Bass, James Salter, and Penelope Lively among them--offer imaginative, lyrical, and empathetic portraits of humanity's most devoted companion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDiana Secker Tesdell\u003c\/b\u003e is the editor of the Everyman's Pocket Classic anthologies \u003ci\u003eChristmas Stories, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eLove Stories, Dog Stories, Cat Stories, Horse Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNew York Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBedtime Stories, Stories of Art and Artists, Stories of Fatherhood\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eStories of Motherhood, Stories of the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eStories from the Kitchen, \u003c\/i\u003eand of the Everyman's Library Pocket Poet \u003ci\u003eLullabies and Poems for Children.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Everyman's Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50526942789906,"sku":"9780307593979","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_83fec6fb-3b3f-449c-a26a-d2dd7ed40ba2.jpg?v=1731287091","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/dog-stories-9780307593979","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
