Beautiful Joe
Marshall Saunders "Beautiful Joe" (1893) is a remarkable classic exploring issues of animal cruelty told from the point of view of one dog, Joe. Written as a kind of dog's autobiography, the work was innovative in its narrative technique. This work was an instant success upon its release in Canada, becoming the first book to sell over a million copies in that country.
As Joe tells his story, the reader quickly meets his cruel owner Jenkins. Often compared to Anna Sewell's "Black Beauty", the novel tracks the true story of a terrier in Maine named Joe. Jenkins mistreatment grows more intense over time.
The reader develops a deep sympathy for Joe and his canine counterparts on account of its narrative point of view. Joe's journey through abuse towards being rescued is a harrowing account not to be missed by the animal lover.
