Famous Dog Series - Grosset & Dunlap and Collins

Grosset and Dunlap also published a series entitled Famous Dogs.  Many of the authors whose works were used for the Famous Horse series also wrote titles for the canine equivalent:  Col. S.P. Meek, Thomas C. Hinkle and John Taintor Foote amongst them.  Silver Chief, to the right was a Jack O’Brien title.

 

Collins (the Glasgow and London publisher) did their own Famous Dog series.  It seemed to be a fairly close equivalent to the Grosset and Dunlap series, using many of its titles. Some of the covers were produced specially for the series.

 

The bibliographies below I know are not complete:  the titles are a representative selection I found on a quick browse through the copyright libraries and Abe.  If you know more titles let me know, though I don’t think I’m going to expand the website to include dogs in any meaningful fashion!

 

Many thanks to Susan Bourgeau and Fiona Williams for information and the photograph.
