INTRODUCTORY
_Fortuna_ is probably the most popular dog story in Spanish. It makes
pleasant reading, it holds the student's interest throughout, and its
language is clear and simple.
The author of _Fortuna_, Enrique P�rez Escrich (1829-1897), was born in
Valencia, Spain, but he went to Madrid when a young man. He was a
prolific writer of popular stories. Both _Fortuna_ and _Tony_, another
dog story by the same author, are evidence that P�rez Escrich knew dogs
and loved them. One can not read these stories without feeling greater
admiration and respect for the dog, the best friend that man has among
the animals. _Fortuna_ also gives an interesting account of the
adventures of a boy who is kidnapped and is finally rescued with the aid
of the dog whom he had befriended and who thus undertook to pay his debt
of gratitude.
