It is when a dog attains a special sort of dignity and a charm all his own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e If you've known a favorite old dog, you'll find him or her on these pages. Your dog might go by a different name and have a different shape, but you'll recognize him or her by the look in an eye or the contours of a life story. There is the dog who thinks he is a house cat; the herder, the fetcher, the punk and the peacock, the escape artist, the demolition artist, the patrician, the lovable lout, the amiable dope, the laughable clown, the schemer, the singer, the daredevil, the diplomat, the politician, the gourmand, and the thief. Plus, as a special bonus, you will find the first Latvian elkhounds ever photographed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eOld Dogs\u003c\/i\u003e is a glorious gift book and a fitting tribute to that one dog you can't ever forget.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e photographer Michael S.
