Dogs are very much part of Australians' lives - they are our companions and members of our families, they are our workmates and our guardians. Whether they are sleeping at our feet, chasing a ball along the beach or rounding up the sheep, our dogs have pride of place. The latest addition to the National Library's popular Little Books series, the Little Book of Dogs celebrates the close relationship between Australians and their dogs through delightful images from the Library's collection and poems by authors such as Henry Lawson, Banjo Paterson, Jack Davis and Les Murray.
