Dog Stories rounds up a pack of vivid and colorful stories about manâ€™s best friend by a wide range of great writers, from Mark Twain and Anton Chekhov to Patricia Highsmith and Jonathan Lethem.

The richly drawn and unforgettable canines gathered here include Rudyard Kiplingâ€™s heroically faithful â€œGarm,â€ Bret Harteâ€™s irrepressible scoundrel of a â€œYellow Dog,â€ and the aggressively affectionate three-legged pit bull Ava, who lives in an apartment building for dogs in Jonathan Lethemâ€™s â€œAvaâ€™s Apartment.â€ Here are stories that touchingly illuminate the dogâ€™s role in the emotional lives of humans, such as Tobias Wolffâ€™s â€œHer Dog,â€ in which a widower shares his grief for his wife with her grieving pet. Here, too, are humorous glimpses of the canine point of view, from O. Henryâ€™s tale of a dissatisfied lapdogâ€™s escape to P. G. Wodehouseâ€™s cheerfully naÃ¯ve watchdog who simply wants everybody to get along. These writers and othersâ€”Ray Bradbury, Doris Lessing, Thomas McGuane, Rick Bass, James Salter, and Penelope Lively among themâ€”offer imaginative, lyrical, and empathetic portraits of humanityâ€™s most devoted companion.
