Dog's Best Friend : Annals of the Dog-Human Relationship

Rating:
Summary: Good in theory, poor in facts
Review: Although this book has as its basis a good premise, the author takes generous liberties with the truth in order to make his point. Instead of helping his cause, however, these inaccuracies detract from the overall credibility of the work.

Summary: SAFETY NOTE! BEWARE CHOCOLATE PLUS DOGS!
Review: I'm enjoying reading this book, but want to note that on p. 201 ("The Ugliness of Beauty"), the author mentions that his dog, Max, "loved chocolate above all other foods." For many dogs, CHOCOLATE IS TOXIC!!! DO NOT GIVE YOUR DOG CHOCOLATE!!!! If in doubt, ask your veterinarian.

Review: There is a lot of misinformastion about the bull-and-terrier breeds in this book. The author apparently had one bad experience with a bull terrier. As a result, he made sweeping statements that are both erroneous and hurtful about several other dog breeds. Anyone who advertises himself as a 'dog expert' should spend more time on checking the facts.
