Wow! Woof!

This is a really fun book. The accumulated information about royal pets is staggering. I'm a dog lover/owner and I really had a good time with this book. It's also beautifully illustrated and worth it for the pictures alone. If you have pets and an interest in history, this is the book for you. It would make a great gift for a dog, cat, bird,(whatever!) owner.
