100 Dogs Who Changed Civilization: History's Most Influential Canines

If you don’t believe that one dog has the power to change the course of history, then you’ve obviously never heard of Peritas (p. 166), the dog who saved Alexander the Great from being trampled by an elephant. Or Biche, the Italian Greyhound who started a war between France and Russia. Or Urian, the dog who bit Pope Clement VII and finalized England’s break with the Catholic church. Or Peps and Fips, the dogs who helped Richard Wagner compose his operas. This book honors heroic dogs' extraordinary contributions to science, history, art, government, religion, and more. These beautifully illustrated true stories are a tribute to the intelligence, bravery, and loving nature of dogs all over the world.
