What kind of pet could win the heart of Adolph Hitler? How about Alexander the Great and Charlemagne? Fortunately their pets kept their master's secrets. Even Freud's beloved chow, Jo-Fi who attended all his analytic sessions never revealed the interpretation of the dreams he overheard. And he certainly never bit the patients. On the other hand, Casanova's parrot loudly repeated his master's obscenities concerning his last romance to all who passed along the street and Josephine's dog, Fortune, tried to bite Napoleon when he thought his mistress was being attacked on her wedding night. You'll meet them all - a gallery of famous devoted masters and mistresses - and a menagerie of pampered pets - in the pages of this delightful book.
