3754 - Royal Dogs Across the Ages (Michael McDavid)
Course Description

If you love dogs and want to learn more about those privileged canines who lived in castles and palaces, come join us for this fun hour and a half session.
Bio: Michael McDavid has been interested in history since the second grade. Over the years his primary focus settled on European history, although if it happened in the past, it was of potential interest. Michael majored in history as an undergrad at Furman University, then received master’s degrees in European history and library science from Emory University. To earn money, he was a library manager at Equifax Inc and Georgia State University. During this same time to satisfy his historical itch Michael taught history at Georgia Perimeter College as an adjunct faculty member. Now after retiring from the Boston Consulting Group, he is privileged to offer courses at OLLI on favorite topics such 19th century Europe and his favorite “subspecialty”, the role of monarchy past and present.
