Around the world there are thousands of pet statues and memorials
with fascinating stories behind them. Some reveal insights into our
social history, such as the little brown dog in Battersea that was
a focus of suffragette riots. Others have wonderfully quirky
origins, like the twenty-three cats of York: sculptures added to
buildings designed by a cat-loving architect. Many more reveal
tales of courage, loyalty, myth, and legend. From Egyptian cat
goddesses and the heroic dogs of war, to search-and-rescue canines
on 9/11 and Tombili the Turkish moggy who became an Internet
sensation, this book brings together a selection of the most
surprising, amusing and illuminating stories, complete with dozens
of full-colour photographs. Anyone with an appreciation of pets,
the varied roles they play in our lives, and the ways in which our
relationships with them have evolved over time, will find much of
interest in this book. Proceeds from the sale of this book will go
to help fund the UK's first national memorial to service dogs.
