  'The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him...is his dog.' Samuel Coleridge. To his dog, every man is Napoleon, hence the popularity of dogs' - Aldous Huxley 'A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverence, and to turn round three times before lying down' - Robert Benchley It's been argued that we live in a dog's world, and The Dog Fanatic brings to life the joys of being in that world, with hundreds of slobbery, trick-performing, tailwagging quotes that remind us just why we call dogs 'man's best friend'. With contributions from a star cast, ranging from Winston Churchill, Samuel Pepys, Alec Guinness and DH Lawrence, to Jerome K Jerome, Florence Nightingale, PG Wodehouse and Rudyard Kipling, this is surely a book that will delight all dog lovers. Patricia M Sherwood, a longtime dog fancier, breeder and trainer, is also the editor of The Greatest Dog Stories Ever Told and An Honest Angler.
