Illustrated by
Lynne Barasch.
Originally adopted by the Albany post office, stray dog Owney guarded the mailbags before he started hopping mail trains and transversing the country. Children will enjoy imagining the life of one scruffy puppy that traveled the world more than a hundred years ago. Watercolor and ink sketches warmly illustrate the mixed-breed terrier. An author's note about the real Owney adds interesting details. Bib.
