The relationship between us humans and our dogs has inspired many of the world's greatest poets. Sometimes funny, sometimes moving, the poems in this beautifully illustrated anthology are a true celebration of the faithful, affectionate, delightful dog. Featuring the work of William Wordsworth, Rudyard Kipling, Emily Dickinson, Thomas Hardy and many more. Curated by the editor of several bestselling poetry anthologies, Ana Sampson and illustrated by the supremely talented Sarah Maycock.
