Just one quotation from this book, quoting a certain 'C.E.W. Beddoes', should suffice to illustrate its appeal, especially to those who own or love dogs:
"Those who have read the history of the overwhelming of Pompeii by the eruption of Vesuvius will remember that although some thousands of people perished, very few domestic animals fell victims. This was, no doubt, due to inherent instinct which enabled the animals to escape at the first signs of the coming disaster.
Yet among them , one elected to stay in that hopeless endeavour, for the fourth time, to save the life of his beloved master, and failing in the attempt, to die with him. It was a fitting tribute to the great nobility of the dog that Nature, who had been so cruel, should have relented by allowing her two pathetic victims to lie in silent companionship for nearly 2,000 years before being discovered and having their epic story placed on record for all time."
More such stories about dogs and their loyalty to their owners make this timeless book an absorbing read and also an excellent present for anyone who loves dogs, young or old.
