Peter Chapin

Join us for a party celebrating Peter Chapin's birthday! Peter, the canine namesake of the Chapin-Horowitz Collection of Cynogetica, was born in September 1906 and was the beloved pet of Howard Chapin. The Chapin-Horowitz Collection is the second-largest collection of books on dogs, with the American Kennel Club claiming the largest collection. Celebrate Peter's birthday and his lasting legacy with dessert and drinks in Special Collections!
