Throughout his life Rudyard Kipling was fond of dogs, and while they featured prominently in early tales such as 'The Dog Hervey' and 'Garm - a Hostage', he later came up with the innovative idea of writing a story from the perspective of a dog, resulting in the hugely successful 'Thy Servant a Dog', narrated by an Aberdeen terrier named Boots. This collection, published in the author's lifetime, gathers Kipling's dog stories written throughout his career, providing a warm tribute to man's best friend and showcasing the lively storytelling talents of one of Britain's most enduringly popular writers.
