I got a puppy! What does this have to do with Friday Five? Well, it means all I can think about (when not thinking, Oh no no no no do not chew/devour/excavate/urinate/defecate/mutilate that/there!) is the sheer adorability of puppies. Lucky you!
Here is my Top 5, then, of books with dogs:
Top Five Books with Dogs
1. Eloise by Kay Thompson (Disclaimer: the puppy in my home is a pug puppy – therefore, this must be #1.)
2. White Fang by Jack London
3. Flush by Virginia Woolf
4. Pack of Two: The Intricate Bond Between People and Dogs by Caroline Knapp
5. Travels with Charlie: In Search of America by John Steinbeck
I’d write more, but I have to run. Love Bug the Pug has decided to explore the world underneath the living room sofa. Pray for us, America. And enjoy the weekend, all!
I would add to this list THE HIDDEN LIFE OF DOGS by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, an amazing nonfiction account that answers the question, what do dogs really want?
Hiya Puppy! Welcome to the Narrator! Looking forward to your posts.
Let’s turn this blog into a blog about Bug! Can’t wait to watch her tonight!
Can you do a part 2 to this w/ top characters portrayed by former television start, Wishbone?
