“Being a veteran-veterinarian of 25 years and a lifetime pet lover, ‘this old doc learned new tricks’ upon reading the consummate book on all things dogs...I highly recommend it!”

—Dr. Marty Becker, resident veterinarian on ABC TV’s Good Morning America and host of nationally syndicated pet talk radio show Top Vets Talk Pets

“There is no scarcity of specialty books about dogs. Readers can choose from breed books (the American Kennel Club’s The Complete Dog Book), puppy selection guides (Ian Dunbar’s Before and After Getting Your Puppy), training manuals (Peggy Tillman’s Clicking with Your Dog), canine health titles (Shawn Messonnier’s 8 Weeks to a Healthy Dog), and canine communication tomes (Stanley Coren’s How To Speak Dog). Combining all of the above and offering even more information, this attractive, copiously illustrated easy-to-understand volume covers every aspect of responsible dog ownership and includes additional details on evolution, genetics, history, folklore, competitive events, careers, and rescue groups. Appendixes include explanations of performance titles, lists of record holders, a glossary, and a 54-page listing of resources: book, periodicals, organizations, and clubs. Bottom Line: Mehus-Roe (Working Dogs) has drawn upon the expertise of breed clubs and sought the input of regular contributors to Dog Fancy and Dog World magazines to create a unique, invaluable resource. An essential purchase for public libraries; if budgets permit, buy multiple copies.

—Library Journal, April 15, 2005

“Those who love the canine species—which means just about all of us—lap up doggy information like puppies at the feeding bowl. This wonderful new volume is a veritable banquet of fascinating, useful facts. It will leave readers bulging contentedly with vital, nurturing knowledge.”

—George Berger, Publisher, AKC Gazette and AKC Family Dog

“This book is a hefty, information-filled resource for dog owners, from puppy care right through to a dog’s mature years.”

— Allan Reznik, editor in chief, Dog Fancy and Dog World

“A Bible indeed! Finally, the dog world has a real complete dog book. From the genesis of Canis familiaris to the dog’s place in man’s world today, the Dog Bible offers many revelations!”

—Andrew DePrisco, author of Canine Lexicon and The Mini-Atlas of Dog Breeds, Editor-in-Chief, Kennel Club Books, LLC
