Bob Dylan dead dog poem to go on sale

A poem Bob Dylan wrote about a dead dog when he was a teenager is to be sold at auction next month.

The handwritten piece, called Little Buddy, is expected to fetch up to $15,000 (£9,660).



Dylan was just 16 - and still going by his given name Bob Zimmerman - when he wrote the two-page poem in 1957 during a stay at summer camp Wisconsin.

Christie's auction house described it as a "dark and mournful poem, about the murder of a boy's dog".
