I recently came across this book. It is a children's book. The illustrations are wonderful!
Dogs of Myth; Tales from Around the World by Gerald & Loretta Hausman, Illustrated by Barry Moser.
These stories are from native cultures around the world, including Africa, North America, Japan.
The dogs featured in a story are:
Basenji
Akita
Husky
Coyote
Bloodhound
Retriever (curly coat)
Irish Wolfhound
Saluki
Rottweiler
Poodle
Shar Pei
Bichon Frise
Spaniel
Easy reading, but I thought about the myths a lot. There is a message each was intended to tell, in a culture where stories were passed down verbally from one generation to the next. Just thought I'd share.
