Every household has one dog who owns your heart, and a cast of others who steal the show. Frances Slaughter sorts them into characters: the Diplomatist, the Professor, the Soldier of Fortune, the Artistic Thief. Part affectionate portrait, part study of temperament, it reads the private lives of dogs like a novelist. Meet the pack that raised a family.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
