Description
A dog's-eye view of the Mayflower voyage and the first Thanksgiving at Plymouth Colony is told through the story of English springer spaniel Dash and his journey with his master, John Goodman. Dash travels to the New World with his companion Mercy, a mastiff, in search of new adventures. The Dog Diary follows their sixty-six-day voyage at sea and the celebration of their first harvest with the Wampanoag Indians who become their friends and advisors. Historical fiction is brought to life through realistic black-and-white illustrations by Tim Jessell and an appendix providing information about the Mayflower, Plymouth Colony, springer spaniels, and primary sources used in the book.
