Yap! A Short History of Small Dogs, by animal historian and dog-lover Stephanie Howard-Smith, tells the story of our first true pets. From the convents of medieval Europe, where nuns hid small dogs to be their faithful companions (despite the disapproval of male church leaders!), to King Charles’s spaniels, Queen Victoria’s Pekingese, Paris Hilton’s Chihuahua and the pet influencers of 21st-century social media, Yap! follows the pawprints of the breeds we have grown to love and cherish, revealing how our two species have formed an unbreakable bond.©2026 Stephanie Howard-Smith (P)2026 W.F.
