  • "First published in 1893, this bestselling novel traces a dog's journey from mistreatment at the hands of a cruel master to his eventual rescue and life in a happy home. Based largely on the true story of an Airedale Terrier mix living in late 19th-century Ontario, author Margaret Marshall Saunders portrayed the tale as an "autobiography" told from Beautiful Joe's own viewpoint, similar to other animal tales such as Anna Sewell's "Black Beauty" and Mark Twain's "A Dog's Life." This heart-wrenching tale with a happy ending not only became a worldwide success upon publication, but also helped greatly to spread awareness of animal cruelty in North America and beyond."
