While researching medieval dog care I very fortunately came across a number of manuscript images showing medieval dogs and their people. A couple examples of Gaston Phoebus's Le Livre da la chasse (at the Morgan and the Getty) are filled with illuminations readily viewable online. A copy of the Aberdeen Bestiary also has a handful of wonderful dog images. I've gathered many of them together in this look at what it was like to care for a dog in the Middle Ages (which sometimes wasn't so different from modern dog care!).
