Description
The tales range in scope from comic to heartwarming. Eric Knight's beloved "Lassie Come Home" is guaranteed to provoke a tear or two from even the most stoic of readers. James Thurber reminsces in "The Dog That Bit People" about a family Airedale who didn't bite the family nearly as he bit strangers. Ring Lardner's aptly titled "Dogs" tells the tale of four different Long Island dogs of his acquaintance. Robert Benchley muses on the benefits to the moral character of a boy by owning a dog. Dorothy Parker's story "Toward The Dog Days" takes an affectionate look at the life and times of a city dog.
