The Difficulty of Being a Dog

Second-Hand (Hardcover)

Excellent condition

The forty-three lovingly crafted vignettes within "The Difficulty of Being a Dog" dig elegantly to the center of a long, mysterious, and often intense relationship: that between human beings and dogs.

In doing so, Roger Grenier introduces us to dogs real and literary, famous and reviled--from Ulysses's Argos to Freud's Lun to the hundreds of dogs exiled from Constantinople in 1910 and deposited on a desert island--and gives us a sense of what makes our relationships with them so meaningful.
