Purchase options and add-ons

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.

Great collection of dog stories! Impressive array of authors! The Corey Ford “Tinkhamtown” story alone is worth the price of the book! Excellent condensed bios of the authors precede their works! Proud to add this little volume to my collection!

Some of the material is from a different era ,especially concerning non pedigreed dogs but saying that ,the stories are still heartwarming .My favorite, of course , is "The Road to Tinkhamtown ".This is the second one of this book that I have purchased , to give to a new dog owner who has "given his heart to a dog to tear"

I thought that this was a great read and it was very touching especially for dog owners. The only problem I had with this book is that some of the stories are very old and outdated, and some are not really stories, they are more like short essays. Overall it was a good book, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves dogs.
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2012
I loved the dog stories. Reading them tells me either to go get a dog immediately or that I'm too emotional to have one any more! The price, shipping from this dealer and service were all excellent.

So glad you had a copy. This is a keeper!
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2014
I was on the lookout for some bird dog stories and came across this one. Precious few, although some of the stories were amusing - I've always been a Wodehouse fan and never knew he wrote such a story. Some of the humor writers provide some humor. The Road to Tinkhamtown is indeed a good story.
What I actually enjoyed most about this collection were Miss Morrow's notes and comments. Her notes about the author and location of Tinkhamtown were as enjoyable as the story.
All in all it was a pleasant read to pick up now and then - but if your intent, like mine was to find stories about bird dogs, this is not the book.
