Former American President Harry S. Truman once said If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog. Even the less cynical among us dog lovers will readily endorse this simple truth irrespective of profession and geography. In a world of selfish, sometimes treacherous, and mostly fair weather human beings, it is a pleasure and a source of great comfort to experience steadfast loyalty and complete selflessness from a different species.

This book is a collection of interesting stories about dogs written by eminent personalities from different walks of life. Not every contributor to this book is a professional writer. Each one however is a dog lover.

No book of this kind would have been complete without photographs and illustrations. There are plenty of those interspersed with the writing. There are also a series of facts, quotes and cartoons about dogs, making it a complete dog lover’s book.

This book is a real collectors item. Hope that the stories will interest other readers too who will perhaps become dog lovers after reading this informative, entertaining, humorous and heart-warming collection.
