It's a doggy-dog world, and this easy-to-use guide will help you
navigate it. These days, people's dogs have become bona fide
members of the family. Moving from the kennel to the couch, they
share our beds, family rooms, and holidays; and they are recipients
of our kindest and utmost concern. A pet partnership is a lifetime
commitment. Do it right, and your dog will become an important and
valuable part of the family for many years. Do it wrong, and you've
broken a sacred covenant between humankind and another living
being. Dogs For Dummies, 2nd Edition, is for you if you are looking
to adopt a dog, trying to improve the relationship with the one you
have, or attempting to come up with fun things to do with your
canine companion. This book is also for people who want to Choose

Spadafori says the lack of accurate information -- not the lack of
effort or concern -- is often the reason for doomed people-pet
pairings. With her help, you can avoid the agony. Dogs For Dummies,
2nd Edition, is full of useful tips, how-to advice, illustrations,
and photographs (both color and black-and-white). You deserve a
healthy, happy, and well-mannered canine companion; and you'll be
the owner every pet wants and deserves -- informed, responsible,
and loving. P.S. If you think this book seems familiar, you're
probably right. The Dummies team updated the cover and design to
give the book a fresh feel, but the content is the same as the
previous release of Dogs For Dummies (9780764552748). The book you
see here shouldn't be considered a new or updated product. But if
you're in the mood to learn something new, check out some of our
other books. We're always writing about new topics!
