Description:
The Travelers' Tales series offer a unique approach to travel; the books are based on the premise that the experiences of other travelers paint the best picture of new lands and unexplored territories. Now the tales have been replaced with tails in this intriguing collection of on-the-road dog stories. A Dog's World features stories from such notable authors as Helen Thayer, John Steinbeck, and the much-loved veterinarian James Herriot. Although travel is the book's central theme, the tales are quite diverse in nature, ranging from the feel-good to the tragic. In "Wild Trek Dog," Wendy Smith leads an expedition through the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, where dogs are viewed as unclean and are quite often abused. Fortunately, the majority of tales are more positive, illustrating that the dog-human traveling partnership can be both enjoyable and fulfilling. "Cross Country Dog" is a delightful account of a young woman's trek across America with her dog Gypsy for a companion; Gypsy warms many a heart and proves to be a loyal friend for the intrepid explorer. The 31 stories are short, but their combined content opens up a window on the world of fascinating travel experiences.
