Beautiful Joe was a dog from the town of Meaford, Ontario, whose story inspired the bestselling 1893 novel Beautiful Joe, which contributed to worldwide awareness of animal cruelty. The real Beautiful Joe was an Airedale-type dog. He was medium-sized, brown, and described as likely being part bull terrier and part fox terrier. Saunders was so touched by Joe's story that she wrote a novel-length, fictionalized, autobiographical version of it.

CHAPTER ITHE BOY WITH THE PALE EYESOne day early this last summer I was feeling rather puzzled and surprised.I am a black Shetland pony brought up mostly in cities and lovely open country places, and here was I shut up in a wild hilly spot miles from any human being except a few settlers.I wasn't worried. I am a middle-aged pony and have seen enough of life to know that it does not pay to get stirred up about mysteries for invariably time straightens them all out.I was just curious and amused and a little bored. No one was going to hurt me. I was sure of that. I am worth a great deal of money, but why I had been toted from down South to New York, and from New York to a Canadian stock farm and from the stock farm away up here to this out-of-the-way place in the woods was a problem to me.I didn't like being shut up this fine day, and I didn't understand the reason for it. In the distance were children, a whole flock of them giggling[Pg 10] and carrying on and probably crazy to get on my back, but they were being kept away from me."Well," I thought, "I'd better take a little nap while I'm waiting for this tangle to straighten itself out," and I was just turning my head to the wall of my log-house stable and drooping my head when there was a slight noise from the direction of the doorway.

Excerpt from Beautiful Joe's Paradise, or the Island of Brotherly Love: A Sequel to 'Beautiful Joe'Favourite Joe the hero of this paradise. Almost shocked at the idea of trading, as it were, on the popularity of the dear old animal, I said, firmly, I can not do that. I shall never bring Joe into another story. However, last autumn, when in great grief over the death of a beloved dog, my mind turned stronglyto my animal story, old Joe was ever before me. He, and only he, was suited to preside over the happy republic where the animals found themselves after death.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
