A Collectible Library of Classics Unleashes Dog Stories

“I’ve long been a fan of the Everyman’s Library of the sophisticated elegance of its design the discriminating selection of its literary works. With the Dog Stories anthology, the editors have rounded up a pack of vividly imagined, lyrical stories  from a bracingly wide range of writers, including (among others) Ray Bradbury, Doris Lessing, Jonathan Lethem, Rudyard Kipling, Tom McGuane, and Anton Chekhov.

I was able to reserve it at my local library.

Some of you know my friend Mitch is actively involved with Freedom Service Dogs. FSD provides service dogs for people of all ages, but Mitch’s particular involvement has to do with service dogs for veterans. He’s an army veteran himself. I’ve had the pleasure of touring the facility and meeting the trainers. Explore their website!
