Sirius: The Dog Star by Martin H. Greenberg & Alexander Potter

Description: Dogs and cats—down through the ages they have been our closest companions, and have worked beside humankind as both hunters and protectors of territory. There are almost as many myths and legends surrounding them as there are about the ancient gods. And while cats have had their stories told in such notable series as CATFANTASTIC, dogs have waited patiently to take their place in the limelight.

Now SIRIUS: THE DOG STAR gives today's top tail spinners the chance to give the dog his due. Here are sixteen memorable stories, by authors such as Tanya Huff, Julie E. Czerneda, Doranna Durgin, Mickey Zucker Reichert, and Stephen Leigh, ranging from the tale of a dog who loses his man while following one-way gateways through time, to a canine whose mental link to an alien allows him to save lives, and a spaniel given the task of choosing King Charles II's successor. Included as well is a story featuring John Zakour & Larry Ganem's private investigator Zachary Nixon Johnson, who's been hired for a very tricky missing dog case. And the concluding piece is a brilliant tale by Michelle West, set in her kingdom of Breodanir, the land of Hunters, Huntbrothers, and their packs.
