We had several hits, which gladdens our hearts because now we can give equal blog time to the animal often referred to as "man's (and woman's) best friend." (Our October 15, 2009 post tells about the Bullis family felines--so it's only fair that we now acknowledge the dogs, don't you think?)
Well anyway ... here are two of the Bullis books about "pooches." We offer them to you for your consideration and in honor of National Dog Day on August 26:
Rolf in the woods; the adventure of a boy scout with
Indian Quonab and little dog Skookum.
by Ernest Thompson Seton, published 1917, Doubleday and Page in Garden City, NY
(Over two hundred drawings included)
The Dead Shot: or Sportman's complete guide: being a treatise...with
rudimentary and finishing lessons...dog-breaking, etc.
published 1863 by W. A. Townsend in New York
If you're interested in taking a look at either of these two books, just let us know. And if any of you out there have a dog named "Skookum" we'd love to hear from you, too.
