With dogs more popular than ever, The Goodness of Dogs presents every facet of dog ownership in manageable, research-heavy sections. With chapters ranging from how to choose a breed (and where to get it from), to feeding and training your dog, to choosing a vet and how to cope with illnesses and death. At once a companion, a manual and a repository of useful information, this book also contains autobiographical asides about the goodness of dogs and their life-enhancing qualities. Full of India Knight's inimitable wit and the sound advice she is famous for, and beautifully illustrated by Sally Muir, this book will make the perfect gift for any dog-lover.
