Maddie Lounging on Things

Maddie Lounging on Things: A Complex Experiment Involving Canine Sleep Patterns by Theron Humphrey

Annick Smith on Poetry, Pets, and Perception

Gaston by Kelly DiPucchio, illustrated by Christian Robinson

Fi-Fi, Foo-Foo, Ooh-La-La, and Gaston: Mrs. Poodle’s new puppies, one of whom–guess who?–doesn’t look quite like the others.

Citizen Canine by David Grimm

Citizen Canine by David Grimm

They are family. The author traces the origins of these animals from ancient times to the present and …
