The result is an enlightening perspective on American history through the eyes of humanity's best friend."Includes stories of heroic dogs like Satan, who in WWI dodged bullets to take a message that saved a garrison under fire; the Alaskan sled team whose 1920s 'serum run' saved a town from diphtheria; and dogs in the Pacific who detected hidden Japanese snipers in WWII . . . A humbling reminder of the dog's remarkable spirit and intelligence in the face, even, of human cruelty." --Kirkus Reviews"A history of the dog in the New World . . . fascinating." --Booklist "Takes a dog's-eye view of American history, beginning with speculations on the dog's first appearance in the Americas tens of thousands of years ago." --Publishers Weekly"Scrupulously researched, anecdotally rich, historically provocative and wide-ranging . . .
