About the author
Grosset and Dunlap, who published the Famous Horse series, also published a series called Famous Dogs. Many of the authors whose works were used for the Famous Horse series also wrote titles for the canine equivalent: Col S P Meek, Thomas C Hinkle and John Taintor Foote amongst them. Silver Chief, to the right was a Jack O’Brien title.
Collins (the Glasgow and London publisher) did their own Famous Dog series. It seemed to be a fairly close equivalent to the Grosset and Dunlap series, using many of its titles. Some of the covers were produced specially for the series.
The bibliographies below I know are not complete; the titles are a representative selection I found on a quick browse through the copyright libraries and Abe. If you know more titles let me know.
