Baxter— Living With Your Humans
William Kunitz is Baxter’s long-suffering and oft neglected translator and scribe. For years he has tried his best to understand and interpret Baxter’s observations. He is Baxter’s Maxwell Perkins, each month carefully editing and faithfully shaping the canine’s prose into an acceptable column, his only reward the occasional thanks from a dog who has read Baxter's work.
