THE DOG'S WORLD
THREE’S COMPANY, by Hans Bentz, translated by Marjorie Deans; Victor Gollancz, English. price 12/6 A DOG AT ALL THINGS, an Anthology, by Agnes Lauchlan; Jonathan Cape, English price 10/6, ‘THIS is a book by a sentimental German about three dogs-a spaniel, a wire-haired terrier, and a mongrel-and the household that belonged to them. According to Brian Vesey-Fitzgerald’s introduction, the book tells a great deal about "the animals themselves, their senses, their thoughts, their desires, the world (the dog world) they live in." That may be so; anyway, the book is the sort that will be appreciated by people who carry pet dogs in their arms or cars (and, in London, let them befoul the pavement), and who talk to them and of them, as Mr. Bentz does, as if they were their children. Miss. Lauchlan’s collection, industriously gathered from sources ancient and modern, from Homer to O. Henry,
will be a precious bedside book for. the dog-lover. The title is a quotation from
Shakespeare.
