Perhaps if religious leader, Martin Luther, had mentioned it, we might have gotten through his autobiography, Here I Stand, the two times it was assigned reading in college.  As interesting as the instigator of the Great Reformation was –  his book, not so much.  We think he should have mentioned Belferlein in the book far more often than he did, which was never. Belferlein was Luther’s Pomeranian.
