Dog Love [antikvár]

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS It is a pleasure to acknowledge the generous assistance of many friends and colleagues: Jonathan Aaron, Ann Balas, Charles Balas, Mary-Claire Barton, Bruce Cratsley, Dan Danielsen, Carolyn Dever, Rebecca Folkman, William Germano, Pat Johnson, David Kennedy, Thomas Laqueur, David Perkins, Katherine Rowe, Kathryn Schwarz, and Carol Thompson were among those who shared dog stories and dog lore. Jeffrey Reiser, Barbara Akiba, Francesca Delbanco, Paul B. Franklin, Theodore Gideonse, Toby Kasper, Denise Roy, Rachel Tiven, and Rebecca L. Walkowitz assisted in obtaining images and permissions and in numerous other ways. Andrew Parker suggested to me, in a phrase I found immensely helpful, that in a way all my books are about love. My editor Rebecca Saletan and my agent Beth Vesel were, once again, invaluable in their advice and support. Barbara Johnson, my most demanding and most forgiving critic, tried valiantly, as always, to keep me out of the doghouse while keeping an eye on the dogs. Nietzschie (1980-1992) trained me patiently in the art of being a dog owner. Wagner and Yofi, to whom this book is dedicated, taught me that dog love is love.
