DOG BOOKS:

Excerpt from Introduction: "No other animal has shared as much with humanity as Canis familiaris, the domestic dog. Indeed, for at least 12,000 years, this creature, but one paw-step away from the wolf, has willingly and happily traded freedom for an uncertain relationship with mankind."

"….Ultimately, we love dogs because they love us. …The dog-and-man partnership is a symbiotic relationship that defies rational explanation. To a person, a dog may be a wild creature to be caressed and tamed, a mirror to reflect one's emotions, a sharer of sorrows, a giver of happiness, or a bringer of peace. I don't know why dogs love people; I'm just glad they do…The dog can be a gift to the human soul. May we be worthy of such devotion."
