Horn Book Review

This updated guide to raising a puppy is quite comprehensive, covering topics such as why one wants a puppy, the best and worst places to get one, what to look for in a dog, and of course, how to care for and train it. Using humor and personal anecdotes, the book provides a good assessment of the work and rewards of owning a dog. Ind. From HORN BOOK Fall 2002, (c) Copyright 2010.
