Description

Dogs have lived with humans for thousands of years as working partners.

By the nineteenth century their role expanded to companions.

American dog literature reflects this gradual but dramatic shift that continues even today.

Our household dogs are quite literally closer than ever to us: sleeping in our beds, getting dressed in Halloween costumes, and serving as emotional support companions. In Dogs We Trust is the first comprehensive anthology of American dog literature.

It features stories, anecdotes, and poetry that celebrate the many sterling virtues of the canine species.

By mining the vast American literary archive of nineteenth and early twentieth-century periodicals, Jacob F.

Rivers III and Jeffrey Makala reveal the mystique and magic of the human-canine relationship and what they believe is one of the best connections humans have to the mysteries of the natural world. This grand anthology features a rich harvest of fiction and nonfiction in which the canine heroes and heroines think and act in ways that illuminate their unquestioning loyalty and devotion.

By taking dog literature seriously, Rivers and Makala believe we can learn more about our animal companions, ourselves, and our national literature.

For them dog literature is American literature; it helps us explore and explain who we are and who we wish to be.
