Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, written around the turn of the 19th century, records the truly remarkable life of Max Gladstone O'Connor â" a faithful and extraordinary collie and the adoration and adventures he shared with his mistress. It is a story of love and companionship, and of a dog so clever that he taught himself to follow an omnibus around the chaotic streets of London, and even rescued a woman from committing suicide by drowning. Max's story is interwoven with historical events, such as the capture of Jack the Ripper and the author's meetings with notable people of the time, including W.T. Stead, the famous editor, and Father Ignatius, the eccentric Catholic priest. This book gives fascinating insights into how people lived in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, as well as the changing role of dogs in society. It also speaks to the indomitable spirit of one woman, how she found fulfilment through devotion to her animals, even in the face of personal loss.
