In 1892, in the town of Meaford, Ontario, Margaret Marshall
Saunders was introduced to Beautiful Joe -a mongrel dog that had
been cruelly mutilated by its owner. The author was inspired to
write this true story to emphasize the plight of domestic animals
everywhere. Upon publication, Beautiful Joe quickly became a
Canadian classic, enchanting readers of all ages. Although Margaret
Saunders relocated Beautiful Joe to a fictional town in Maine,
readers know the story is actually based in Meaford, where a park
and monument have been dedicated to the dog's memory.
