Dogs have played key roles at various times in history. This book describes have acts of various dogs have affected history. From a pet greyhound of Alexandria the Great to the Lion Dogs of the Forbidden City to Presidential dogs, from war dogs to lap dogs, individual pets have affected the course of human events. Some of this is Counter-factual history, i.e. what if type of questioning. If Freud did not have a dog to deal with his own personal problems would he have come up with his ideas of psychoanalysis? If Wagner did not have a dog would he have written as many works as he did? Part of the problem is like that of all social history, not all of the participants were literate. What is obtained about them is from letters and diaries of others and if lucky, comments in other written works. I found this book to be light, easy reading with numerous vignettes about the dogs of several individuals important in history's timeline.
