Dickey, 2007-08-21 I am reading the book Boston Terriers, The Early Years, by Cathy J. Flamholtz. I started it in the car on my way to pick up my new puppy, so far it has been fun to read. It is a collection of text written around the turn of the century (1880's to the 1930's)about the development of 'Americas Dog' or the early Boston Terrier. As an artist and OBB/BT enthusiast I have especially enjoyed reading chapter four dedicated to artist and cartoonist Robert L. Dickey (1861-1944). An avid animal lover, Dickey started painting animals as a young kid. He later advanced his career by sketching horses for a prominent sporting magazine. In the 1930s he became know for his newspaper strips 'Mr. and Mrs. Beans', 'Buster Beans' and 'Buckey and his Pals'. Dickey also illustrated dog cartoons for Life magazine and for other advertisers from 1914 to 1930. A smattering of these illustrations are in Flamholtz book. I am finding that Dickey truly captured the character of these early Boston breeds. He often illustrates from the puppies perspective and incorporates many other adult animals and dogs in his cartoons. From their little wiggly bottoms to their run-and-tumble adventures, visually the cartoons are spot-on. They also illustrate funny topics that OBB or BT owners should easily relate too.

As a pure American breed, the author traces it's origin, it's rise to fame as a wonderful pet and companion, and it's life in the media spotlight. I had no idea how famous they once were. The photos and drawings that are included are exceptional and really bring the book to life. 12 of 13 found this review helpful: An entertaining history of the breed, 2000-05-10 This is a great book for Boston Terrier fans and fanatics. Detailed text and photos of the breed from the first "official" Boston, through the evolutions to today's breed standard. While not for someone seeking information on how to care for a Boston Terrier, this is a great breed history for those "hard core" Boston-lovers! Availability: In stock soon.
