When originally published in 1959, this marvelous collection of dog stories compiled by the late humorist Corey Ford was an immediate bestseller. For this edition, Ford selected pieces written by his friends and peers whose names appeared on the mastheads of The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Life, and Colliers, including such greats as Thurber, Benchley, Wodehouse, White, Woollcott, and Marquis. Ford also provided balance with stories from Steinbeck, Lardner, Lawrence and others, including his own superbly poignant, original version of his classic short, The Road to Tinkhamtown. All the stories in Cold Noses and Warm Hearts share the same theme, whether underscored by humor or deep emotion: the strong, enigmatic bond between dog and master. Laurie Morrow is the official biographer of Dartmouth College, Corey Ford Archives, and is a frequent contributor to many national dog and sporting magazines.

This review is from: Cold Noses and Warm Hearts: Beloved Dog Stories by Great Authors (Hardcover)
The two stories by Corey Ford, first and last stories in the book, are wonderful as are all of his writings. They alone make the book a worthwhile purchase. The other stories in between, most by talented and well known writers, don't measure up. The revised edition of this book replaces better stories that were in the original edition.

Dogs have noble souls, for creatures with no soul...,
By Dub Dublin (Austin, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cold Noses and Warm Hearts: Beloved Dog Stories by Great Authors (Hardcover)
I bought "Cold Noses and Warm Hearts" a few years ago at Restoration Hardware, thinking it would at least make a good book to read to the kids at "storytime" before bed. It is mostly great for that (I think I had to skip one story as mildly inappropriate for young children) but even more, it is a book of great writing about a great subject. This book will make you laugh, cry, or sometimes both at the same time. It's also a great reminder that God gives us dogs to both remind us how rotten fallen humanity is, and to offer an example of what real unwavering faith and loyalty look like. The writing is almost always excellent, and I personally think this book is perhaps one of the best anthologies of short stories I've run across - it's certainly my favorite. Cold Noses and Warm Hearts is great in a way that few books are anymore, and I highly recommend it.
