review 1: I'm about half way through this book, and I'm thinking that anyone who either has a dog or is thinking about getting a doc should read this. In researching the dog he intends to get after Merle, Kerasote has done huge amounts of research about things like how dogs are bred and what to look for in breeders, and things to think about regarding keeping your dog healthy, including what to feed it. He also includes tidbits of information about how he trained Pukka, learning "dog language" by looking at how Pukka's doggie friends interacted and making use of it. As long as the book is, I am finding it interesting.
review 2: I enjoyed hearing about Pukka and Merle (I've never read his other books), and the book contained a lot of interesting details and research about... more keeping your dog healthy. However, it made me a little paranoid about whether I was choosing the right food, or whether I should get my dog's booster shots; wondering if I should take away his toys and toss his bed, and trying to figure out where the heck I was going to find turkey necks for my dog to munch. It's extreme health for dogs. And while I don't recommend feeding your dog the cheapest kibble on the market, I'm not sure swinging to the opposite extreme is necessary, either. But what do I know? less
