A Dog's Lives - Paperback

by Jack Karasch (Author)

A wild herb from an 18th Century forest near Philadelphia not only saves the life of a rattler-bitten canine but, through harvesting of the plant, allows the animal to live well beyond its normal life expectancy. During those years, the animal establishes a relationship with Ben Franklin, Edgar Allan Poe, a midwife, a phrenologist, a Mennonite, and others. A DOG'S LIVES is a fantasy for animal lovers and American history buffs alike.
