Features artwork from an all-star cast of eighteen bestselling and award-winning illustrators. In so many hearts you’re number one! Agile! High-spirited! Obedient! Fun! You hunt. You fish. You search and find. You cheer the old. You guide the blind. In this ode to our most loyal companions, you’ll meet the Labrador Retriever and sixteen other remarkable dogs. There''s the Bloodhound, who has a sense of smell one thousand times better than yours or mine. And there’s the Irish Wolfhound, the world’s tallest dog, who was once the companion of royalty.
