I believe Barbara Metzger has done at least one Regency romance where one of
the POV characters is a dog.

Then, of course, there are Jack London's CALL OF THE WILD, etc.

I went to Google and input the search: dog books (fiction). Among other
things, it referred me to several lists on Amazon. (They call them "Listmania")
At least 2 were devoted to dogs. Included were Morris's MY DOG SKIP, books by
jack London, Albert Payston Terhune, Eric Knight, Fred Gipson, Phyllis
Reynolds Nayor (Shiloh), Donald McCraig (Nop's Trials), etc.

Happy hunting!

Several come to mind:

THOR by Wayne Smith. Told from German Shepherd's point of
view. He suspects a relative of the family is "not quite right" and
goes to any lengths to protect his pack.

NOP'S TRIALS by Donald McCaig. A border collie is kidnapped.
The story tells of his adventures & his owner's attempts to get him
back.

THE PLAGUE DOGS by Richard Adams. Two "plague dogs"
escape from an experimental lab (not the dog breed -- I've always
wondered if "lab tested" was tested by black labs....) and roam the
English countryside.

All the above have wonderful "doggie insights." Two paws up for all
of them.

A great book where a dog is prominently featured is "The Cave" by Nobel

I must second the suggestion of Must Love Dogs by Claire Cook. This book
is a cute little story about a woman placing a personal ad. she doesn't
really care about dogs, but gets the idea that a man who likes dogs, has
got to be a pretty good guy....

Also, the Boy Next Door by meggin Cabot is a love story about a woman who
falls in love with the guy who moves in next door to take care of her
neighbors Great Dane. It's funny and really cute.

A couple more to add to the dog list.

All of Jo-Ann Mapson books have dogs. I especially love The Wilder Sisters
Deerskin by Robin McKinley is a great read, too!

One of the funniest books I have read is a collection of essays by Merrill
Markoe _What the Dogs Have Taught Me and Other Amazing Things I've Learned_.

I bought it several times because I kept giving it away to friends.

I enjoyed Uncle Boris in the Yukon and other Shaggy Dog Stories by Daniel
Pinkwater. It's Nonfiction.

For my next display, I want to do fiction that features dogs. I know there
is a great list on Fiction_L that has dogs in mysteries. Any suggestions for
non-mystery fiction?

Thanks,
Lisa
