The Black Dog's proud profile can be found on T-shirts and hats across the country, but few people know the true story of this seafaring dog and her adventures on the Martha's Vineyard schooner the Shenandoah. When his friend Eddie gave him an orphaned puppy, Captain Bob Douglas did not expect to keep her for more than a night. Instead she became his longtime companion and a symbol of the island. Children and adults will love this heartwarming story about a crusty Yankee sea captain and the little black puppy who won his heart and became a New England legend.

Named for the pirate in Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, the Black Dog doesn't know how to stay out of trouble. True to her name, she can't resist treasure hunting. Every port call Shenandoah makes affords new possibilities for a dog with unquenchable curiosity and a spirit for adventure. And every time she comes home she has some new trophy to offer the captain no matter how much he scolds her. Just when everyone thinks she's given up her pirating ways, the Black Dog finds something that makes even Captain Douglas happy he's adopted a true buccaneer.
