Illustrated by Steven Kellogg

New York: The Dial Press, (1979).

First edition, first printing.

Contains publisher's 'first printing' statement.

Inscribed with a drawing of a heart, a star and a portrait of Pinkerton and SIGNED by the author/illustrator to the front endpaper.

The first installment in Kellogg's zany adventure series featuring a Great Dane dog named Pinkerton.

In this debut, Pinkerton thwarts a would-be burglar with a gun, while obeying the command 'fetch', and heroically protects and defends his home with the mother and daughter.

In the later re-issue of this tale, Kellogg omits the burglar's gun.
 

A delightful dog tale based on the author's own dog.

Nice! Slight rubbing to shelf-edges, lower corner tips bumped, else very good in color illustrated boards, in a lightly rubbed, very good plus dust jacket, with slight rub-wear to the corner tips and to the upper and lower spine edges; original $7.95 price still intact to the front inner flap.
Presentable and enchanting.

Square Octavo.
