Gazehound Man

Sir Henry Raeburn, Scottish, “Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet, with His Dogs” (1809), Abbotsford House, Scotland. The man of letters, shown here with Percy and Camp, was a great dog lover who owned many during his lifetime. Camp (the dog pictured at his feet) was his favorite. He wrote that he spoke to him as a man and that when told of which of the two routes that his master took home, he always showed up to greet him along the correct route. Bob Shire
