Description

Raymond Coppinger (au); Peter Pinardi (il). Raymond Coppinger, famous fisherman, & teller of fish tales, brings to light the useful & devoted dogs specially bred & trained as fishing dogs -- from the bilge-clearing Monsoon Dog to the shade-casting Floating Mat Dog (useful as a throw rug) to the quilted Tippup (for ice-fishing). Coppinger uses his droll wit & lifetime of expertise to remedy the sad obscurity of these dogs & to illuminate such subjects as the evolution of dogs from wolves, the perils of cross-breeding, the strange habits of hunters, & the impossibility of finding a good fishing partner after 40. Whether you are a fisherman, a dog-fancier, or simply a lover of satire, you’ll agree that this is more fun than a barrel of Bilge Pups. Illustrations.
