Book excerpt: FOREWORD - THIS is a book which is different from most dog books, for it touches the fringes of the dogs understanding and of his mental life in relation to ourselves. It also emphasizes our responsibility towards the only animal which, leaving all its natural affinities, has attached itself utterly to us. It is this responsibility which, to my mind, we so often forget and so often neglect, even when we realize it. We keep a dog because we like dogs, and there the matter ends. How often do we really sacrifice anything for this animal whose life is one long sacrifice for us. We feed the dog sufficiently or too well, wr exercise him when it does not interfere with our pleasutcs, but how many of us would dream of getting up earlier by an hour to give the dog a walk, if we happen to expect a clay too full of other business Or pkasur to enable us to do so. Mr. Sheard has obviously sct hirnself the task of making the dog better known and understood in those circles which are not specifically centred round his intrrests. His Introduction contains a wralth of legends fronr the niythology of primitive people which are eloquent proofs of the friendship letween dog and man from timc immemorial, describes how dogs talk to one another and to their mastcrs, and foreshadows the possibility of an even more intinlate understanding between dog and man. The stories tliemselvcs are additionally intercsting on account of Mr. Shcards cornmerits tnd observations on certain incidents for which even people who understand Dogs have failed to find satisfactory xplanations. The Glory of the Dogs is an interesting book: it arouses speculations. .... Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are now republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
