Illustrated by
Barry Moser.
From African creation lore to medieval European tales, this collection of myths and legends includes stories in which dogs steal fire for people, sacrifice their lives protecting their masters, and bring wealth and love to their owners. The rich storytelling is enhanced by Moser's stately paintings. Each tale includes an afterword, commenting on the story and providing information about the breed of dog. Sources are appended.
