Digging is a thing I love to do. Dirt is riddled with old bones to chew. What is it about dogs that fascinates us? Is it their humor, stubbornness, charm, greed? Is it their loyalty, nobility, naughtiness, haughtiness? Is it simply their abiding love? It's all this and more. Through poems and paintings, Shadow, Rufus, Mutterly, and more than forty others become utterly irresistible—revealing the very essence of dog. •Features 43 poems celebrating a child's best friend • Includes illustrations of more than 40 breeds of dogs
