English The Golden Dog Produced by Donald Lainson, and David Widger "The Golden Dog" by William Kirby is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set during the mid-18th century, the narrative unfolds primarily in Quebec, amidst the backdrop of the colonial struggle between the French and English empires. The story features a cast of characters including Count de la Galissonière, the Governor of New France, and various military officers, as they attempt to fortify Quebec against perceived threats while navigating their social and personal lives.
