Every Dog Has Its Day - A Thousand Things You Didn't Know About Man's Best Friend

By Max Cryer

Why has Fido become a generic term for all dogs? How did dogs help to roast a haunch of venison? Why did hundreds of people collect dog faeces - and sell it? Dogs never eat other dogs, so why is it a dog-eat-dog world? Did any dogs survive the Titanic? Do mad dogs really go out in the midday sun? And exactly why are the 'dog's bollocks' the best? Max Cryer's new book is a splendid collection of historical facts and eccentricities of language that will delight all dog-lovers and anyone with a morsel of interest in the world around them. Every Dog Has Its Day pays homage to man's best friend, telling the stories of famous dogs in history, tracing the origins of some of our favourite breeds, showing how dogs have become a significant part of our language, and describing the amazing range of activities in which dogs are involved. Written with Max Cryer's characteristic light touch and sense of humour, every page contains unexpected facts and fascinating stories: this book truly is a delight from beginning to end.
