Review Quotes

"There are hunting dogs, famous packs, draught dogs, delightful toys, dogs famous and unknown. Most illuminating is the chapter on dogs as symbols: dogs can be conveying fidelity, status, piety, hope, watchfulness and even their place on the canvas had meaning to the contemporary eye."
