What Is a Sea Dog?

What is a Sea Dog? Why it's any dog who loves the water, Or lives along the shore. Whose tail wags and ears jump When stormy winds roar. Join little Skipper, a curious puppy in an orange life preserver, as she meets a galaxy of sea dogs from past and present. What is a Sea Dog? combines poetry, history, and fun in a celebration of the many dogs who love the water. Inspired by the exhibit Sea Dogs Great Tails of the Sea at Mystic Seaport, What is a Sea Dog? was written and illustrated by two seafaring storytellers, historian John Jensen and artist/writer Richard J. King. Both have known many real sea dogs.
