100 Dogs Who Changed Civilization: History's Most Influential Canines

100 Dogs Who Made a Difference
Â
If you donâ€™t believe that one dog has the power to alter civilization, then youâ€™ve obviously never heard of Peritas (p. 166), the dog who saved Alexander the Great from being trampled by an elephant. Or Biche (p. 57), the Italian Greyhound who started a war between France and Russia. Or Urian (p. 74), the dog who bit Pope Clement VII and finalized Englandâ€™s break with the Catholic church. Or Peps and Fips (p. 96), the dogs who helped Richard Wagner compose his operas.
Â
These are just five of the 100 Dogs Who Changed Civilization, and this book honors their extraordinary contributions to science, history, art, government, religion, and more. Youâ€™ll meet a dog who ran for president of France (p. 79) and a dog who saved a movie studio (p. 115). Youâ€™ll meet dogs who have inspired great works of literature (p. 92) and who were awarded medals for their wartime service (p. 158). Youâ€™ll even meet a dog who became a real-estate mogul (p. 141). These beautifully illustrated true stories are a tribute to the intelligence, bravery, and loving nature of dogs all over the world.
