Book Description Loyal, brave and intellligent, the Newfoundland dog is one of the best-loved, most recognized breeds in the world. Lauded by the likes of Napoleon and Lord Byron, the Newfoundland has appeared in written history for hundreds of years. Best known for the heroic rescues they perform, the dogs are also wonderful companions, guards, and even nannies. And perhaps more than any other breed, they inspire the storyteller in their owners. The Noble Newfoundland Dog is a tribute to the wonderful canines and the amazing tales they inspire. Bruce Hynes considers their complicated origins, quotes owners and observers from centuries past, and relates stories that will delight, shock, and inspire readers - especially those lucky enough to have known a noble Newfoundland dog. The Noble Newfoundland Dog by Bruce Hynes is well illustrated with images of the dog as well as showing depictions on stamps, and money.
