Dog Day »

Walter Emanuel was a longtime contributor to Punch magazine.

Originally published in 1902, this book is the diary of a day in the life of a less-than-well-behaved dog who, nonetheless, charms an entire household. This roguish hero tells the story of a rather eventful day in his life in his own voice—captivating old and young alike with his wit and ability to get away with virtually every canine crime imaginable without punishment. Stealing food, muddying the house, and attacking the household cat are all in a day’s work for this mischievous yet lovable dog, who always manages to get off scot-free.
