The narrative centers around a dog named Beautiful Joe from Meaford, Ontario, whose life story sparked a global movement against animal cruelty. Based on a real Airedale-type dog, Joe's medium-sized, brown appearance and mixed breed background are highlighted. Inspired by his experiences, author Margaret Marshall Saunders crafted a fictionalized, autobiographical novel that resonates with themes of compassion and advocacy for animal rights, making a significant impact since its release in 1893.
