Though dumb, dogs have been vocal down the ages and have left their mark on the pages of history. As this compilation shows, they have found a place not only in the lives of such well-known dog enthusiasts as Sir Walter Scott, Lord Byron, Queen Victoria and Dodie Smith, but also in the diverse company of Marilyn Monroe, Humphrey Bogart and Bob Dylan. This anthology is designed to edify and entertain all those who love dogs - and may provide some ammunition for those with a different view on the subject.
