Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.
The rules are simple:
Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want. Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post. Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other bloggers’ lists. Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.
This week’s topic is Characters I’d Name a Pet After. I decided to let authors do the work this week so my list is made up of ten pets who appear in literature.
- Flush, Elizabeth Barratt Browning’s cocker spaniel in Flush by Virginia Woolf
- Dorothy’s canine companion, Toto in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum
- Long John Silver’s parrot, Captain Flint in Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
- Fox terrier, Bob in Dumb Witness by Agatha Christie
- Nana, the Newfoundland, in Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie
- Pongo and Missis in The Hundred and One Dalmations by Dodie Smith
- Pilot, Mr. Rochester’s dog in Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
- Cat in Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Truman Capote
- Jasper, the spaniel in Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
