A delightful book. I had trouble putting this book down

This collection of stories previously printed in various magazines all have something to do with dogs. Some are fiction. Many are about the author's many dogs.
There are the dog drawings throughout the book. Thurber drew strips and single looks at an imaginary bloodhound. These are droll and enjoyabl

As far as Thurber goes, one of his works that has aged fairly decently (I.e. nothing too offensive in it.) cute dog pictures, cute stories, worth picking up if you’re a fan of Thurber’s style but trying to avoid his more...misogynistic and dated humor that appears in other books and cartoons.

Nice, light read from a master of comedic essays and drawings from the first half of the 20th century. Especially good if you like dogs.

Never earth-shattering, but often cute. The book drags when Thurber gets too serious. My favorite essay is “The Thin Red Leash”, about walking a small dog in a neighborhood full of tough guys. Other gems include “The Dog that Bit People” (and the woman who justified it), and “Look Homeward, Jeannie”
