Book of dogs


I thrifted this Book of Dogs a while ago. I'm quite thrilled about it. The cover is hideous but the photos and drawings inside are outstanding. They show different breeds and what they where used for. Hunting, retrieving, guarding, searching and rescuing, or simply as man's best friend. Truly heroic!

The Book of Dogs was published by The National Geographic Society in 1927
