Walter Emanuel

Walter Emanuel (1869–1915) was a British solicitor, author, and satirist. After practicing law for five years, he left the profession to pursue humor writing, contributing to magazines including Punch, where he wrote a weekly column.

He became especially known for humorous books featuring anthropomorphic dogs, often created with illustrator Cecil Aldin. His best-known work, A Dog Day; or, The Angel in the House (1902), is narrated by a lively terrier and remains his most familiar book. Emanuel also contributed commentary to the 1914 satirical map Hark! Hark! The Dogs do Bark!
