Many of us know a dog like Fred and his "I regret nothing" attitude.  But none of us can immortalize the Fred spirit quite like E.B. White.   White's words may be associated more with mice and spiders for some, but it turns out that he had quite a collection of dogs over the years, as well as the ability to combine humor with a universal touch that makes us remember all the dogs we've ever known.  Luckily his granddaughter- our local author and editor, Martha White- just published a new book, E.B. White on Dogs.  Here are some photos from her reading at Left Bank Books in Belfast.  Watch for more opportunities to get your own copy signed as well as to get a professional portrait of your dog.  Be like Fred- no regrets!
