Summary: A great book no first time dog owner should go without
Review: this is a great book that is useful for any dog owner. It contains information on how to pick a new pup, where to get a dog, how to train the dog, feeding, exercise, first aid, doggy psychology, etc. Its a quick reference for anything you might need. Even an experienced dog owner might find something in this bok they didn't know.

While much of the information is available on the net, this book ties together dissparate sources and topics and organizes it well.
