Summary: Dogs have played a central role in the lives of New Zealanders, from working farm dogs, to police dogs, loyal companions, mascots, little heroes and fictional dogs that have become part of our culture. This book looks at the dogs that have been memoralised in public statues that have become community icons. Travelling the country we trace the statues and the stories behind them to show how dogs play an important role as humanity's best friend.
