A collection of SF short stories with dogs. The introduction says that cats have their claws firmly in fantasy but there aren't many stories about dogs. Reading that made me think of the fantasy books I've read that do have dogs - Dogsbody by Diana Wynne Jones, A Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny, Deerskin and Spindle's End and various other books by Robin McKinley.

I enjoyed many of these stories, especially the one about the color-changing puppies. ( )

Book description
Dogs and cats - down through the ages they have been our closest companions, and have worked beside humankind as both hunters and protectors of territory. there are almost as many myths and legends surrounding them as there are about the ancient gods. And while cats have had their stories told in such notable series as CATFANTASTIC, dogs have waited patiently to take their place in the limelight.
Now SIRIUS: THE DOG STAR gives today's top tail spinners the chance to give the dog his due. Here are sixteen memorable stories, ranging from the tale of a dog who loses his man while following one-way gateways through time, to a canine whose mental link to an alien allows him to save lives, and a spaniel given the task of choosing King Charles II's successor. Included as well is a story feature John Zakour's private investigator Zachary Johnson, who's been hired for a very tricky missing dog case. And the concluding piece is a brilliant tale by Michelle West, set in her kingdom of Breodanir, the land of Hunters, Huntbrothers and their packs.
