Tin Tin's Snowy, Odysseus's Argos, Darwin's Polly, Mary Queen of Scots's 22 lap-dogs, Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Flush, and other notable canines have played significant roles in the lives of great men and women throughout history. These dogs have not only been companions but also symbols of loyalty, bravery, and companionship. In Peter J. Conradi's book, "A Dictionary of Interesting and Important Dogs," readers are taken on a journey through history, literature, and personal anecdotes to discover the stories behind these remarkable dogs.
The book explores the connections between famous people and their canine companions, shedding light on the roles that these dogs played in their lives. For example, Karl Marx and his daughter's Dogberry Club, the Titanic's secret lapdogs who survived the disaster, Edinburgh's Greyfriars Bobby, who remained loyal to his master's grave for 14 years, and Shakespeare's singular dislike for dogs.
Through this captivating book, readers will learn about the diverse roles that dogs have played in human history, from serving as protectors and companions to being symbols of power and status. Conradi's writing is witty and informative, making the book a delightful and entertaining read for anyone who loves dogs or has an interest in history and literature.
