Abstract
Emily Dickinson's love for her dog, Carlo, reveals an earthy aspect of the poet that children will understand. She was not just a pristine introvert dressed in white; Dickinson had a vibrant, sixteen-year relationship with a large, muddy-pawed canine. She named him, romanticized him, confided in him, drew strength from him, and grieved acutely when he died.
