When originally published in 1959, this marvelous collection of dog stories compiled by the late humorist Corey Ford was an immediate bestseller. For his edition, Ford selected pieces written by his friends and contemporaries whose names appeared on the mastheads of The New York Times, Vanity Fair, Life and Colliers. The names read like a Who's Who of humor: Thurber, Benchley Wodehouse, White, Woollcott, Marquis.
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.
