Dog: For the Complete Care and Understanding of Your Best Friend
(Hardcover)
"Dog" is the book for every day of your dog's life - and every day of your life with your dog. This is the enduring story of man and dog. At its heart is an emotionally intelligent analysis of the lifelong partnership between the two species, with such wit and wisdom that will shape your attitude, influence your actions, and provoke the happiest and healthiest lives for you and your dog. But it's in the detail of this book that you'll find magic: in the miracle of birth, the too-short puppyhood, the exasperating adolescence and calmer adulthood. You'll turn to this book every time your dog surprises you, worries you, needs you, misses you, and plays, exercises, runs or swims. This is the book to take from the shelf when you plan to choose a new puppy or must face the autumn years of a much-loved old friend, for training, and for the very best veterinary advice in emergencies.
“I have recently purchased this book, I must admit I do like Bruce Fogle and do possess a few of his books. This one however has more information about our fury friends, from the origin (from China) to the evolution from puppyhood to old age it really is a very informative book and I am looking forward to reading it further.”

It's a very well-written book with lots of pictures and really easy to understand and apply the tips/advices!!”
“This book is the perfect guide for anyone with a new puppy or a reminder for people who have owned puppies/dogs in the past and need a refresher.
We found the simple step by step guide on behaviour and training trends really helpful, especially with the pictures to show you how to do things. Bruce has a fabulous writing method, very down to earth which puts things into perspective in a day to day lifestyle.
Would highly recommend this to any new puppy owner.”
