The perfect gift for any dog lover, The Greatest Dog Stories Ever Told is a compulsively readable collection of 36 of the most moving and illuminating stories ever penned on the subject of our canine companions.

[Willa · Rating 3 out of 5]

Treat this book like a book of short stories. Do be warned there are stories that might be disturbing to some, as most of them were written at a time in history when dogs were valued for their work, such as hunting. The entire book is worth reading for Jack London's story about his dog, Spot.
