Year of the Dog Stories

In honor of 2018 Chinese New Year of the Dog, celebrated by over twenty percent of the world, we pulled together a special collection of favorite short stories featuring dogs. The holiday is known as the Spring Festival and the Lunar New Year, officially beginning February 16, 2018 (the date changes each year to align with the New Moon). The Lantern Festival concludes the holiday, March 2.
