With these stirring words, Rover Khayyám, the barking bard of Philadelphia, commences his spellbinding masterpiece, a canine counterpart to the well-known Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám. In seventy-five carefully crafted stanzas, Rover creates an indelible impression of what it means to be a dog and a mortal being. Translated from the original Dalmatian and insightfully annotated by Edward FitzHound, Rover's Rubáiyát is destined to be an instant classic to be cherished by anyone who is a dog or loves one.
