Few creatures have inspired quite as much love, loyalty, laughter — and poetry — as the humble dog.
Book of Dog Poems , beautifully edited by Ana Sampson , is a wonderfully illustrated collection celebrating everything we adore about our four-legged companions, from wagging tails and muddy paws to unwavering devotion and the extraordinary bond between dogs and their humans.
Bringing together beautiful poetry inspired by dogs from across the centuries, the collection moves effortlessly between the funny, touching and wonderfully familiar. There are poems that will make you smile, others that may bring a lump to your throat, and plenty that will have every dog owner thinking, yes, that's exactly it.
Beautifully illustrated throughout and presented in an elegant hardback edition, it's the sort of book to leave on the coffee table and dip into whenever the mood takes you.
Perfect for anyone currently ruled by a dog, still talking about one they loved years ago, or simply convinced that most things in life are improved by the presence of four paws and a wagging tail.
