| Publisher Description: This fascinating volume explores the lives and histories of the animals of Newcastle over the last 150 years. With chapters on domestic animals such as cats and dogs and sections covering working animals such as cart horses and pit ponies, this volume is a comprehensive guide to the creatures of Newcastle. Discover the story of the "learned dog" who could "read, write, and cast accounts;" find out about long-forgotten institutions such as the Pig Club and the Dickie Bird Club--as seen in the Newcastle Chronicle of the 1870s--and read about the first ever dog show in the world, which was held in Newcastle in 1859. This fascinating work is a must have for all animal lovers. |
