It Takes a Dog to Raise a Village: True Stories of Remarkable Canine Vagabonds Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This collection of true stories celebrates the lives of a handful of vagabond dogs who spurned confinement and one-family ownership. Each dog's tale is unique: Boozer had his own bank account and appeared on Good Morning America; Owney spent his life riding U.S. mail trains and can now be seen in the Smithsonian Institute; Greyfriars Bobby snuck into the cemetery every night for 14 years to sleep on his deceased master's grave; Lampo became famous for riding the railways of Italy but always returned to the same station. These atypical dogs all share the same independent spirit that inspires human admiration and devotion.

Synopsis:

Each dog's tale is unique — from Boozer who had his own bank account and appeared on Good Morning America, to Owney who spent his life riding mail trains and can now be seen in the Smithsonian Institute — but all share the same independent spirit and unusual bonds with the humans who knew them.
