"I had just finished giving a talk about well known politicians and their dogs. This included a description of a broad spectrum of different relationships between the dogs and their well known owners, which ranged from real emotional companionship to the callous use of dogs to manipulate the politician's image and popularity with the public. During the question period that followed one member of the audience asked "Can you tell us what kind of dog Napoleon Bonaparte had and what his relationship was with it?" The answer to that question actually turns out to be rather complicated with both positive and negative aspects. To begin with, there is no mention that Napoleon's family had a dog when he was growing up in Corsica. He also did not have a canine companion during his early military career. The first time that we hear about a dog in Napoleon's life comes when he married Josephine…."

"The first time that we hear about a dog in Napoleon's life comes when he married Josephine…." That seems unnecessarily unkind. |
