Guest<br><br>The relationship between us humans and our dogs has inspired many of the world''s greatest poets. Sometimes funny, sometimes moving, the poems in this beautifully illustrated anthology are a true celebration of the faithful, affectionate, delightful dog. The perfect gift for dog lovers.</p>
