Name That Dog: Dogs of Presidents, Kings, Queens, Governors, and Celebrities

NAME THAT DOG is a 92-page book, with 42 photographs, consisting of three parts. The first section includes photographs of famous dog owners & their pets, drawn from U.S. presidents & governors, as well as royalty, & from artists & show-business celebrities. Photos date as far back as 1877 & include President Bill Clinton with his beloved spaniel, "Zeke." The second part of this entertaining, useful work is a selection of poems past & present about dogs. The last part consists of more than a thousand original dog names, from Ace to Zomo. The name list is introduced by a delightfully witty section, "Dog Trivia," which touches on the gambit of canine lore from the noble, through the tragic, to the humorous. This attractive "coffee table" book, which features the Kennedys' dog clan on the cover, is priced at $24.95 per autographed copy & is a popular gift item for dog lovers. NAME THAT DOG contains over a dozen four-color photographs, in addition to many historical black & white prints. The late illustrator, Rose-Marie Hamer Collins contributed finely wrought pen & ink drawings of several dozen breeds. This was her last work, a true reflection of her immense talent. CONTENTS: I.
