  • Summary

    Mark Twain was a lifelong lover of animals, particularly cats and dogs, and he wrote about animals throughout his writing career: his first national success, “The Jumping Frog,” included a variety of animals, and in his last decade, he wrote works on behalf of animal rights, including “A Dog’s Tale” and “A Horse’s Tale.” Late in his life, he was a prominent spokesman for animal rights and anti-vivisection. He called man “the lowest animal,” but his regard for and interest in other animals never wavered.
