One coyote hound, one mission: what begins as an attempt to understand and rehabilitate a rescue dog becomes an exploration of the dog world, and the special bond people share with dogs.
What do we learn from living and working with a dog? Set in Saskatchewan and based on conversations with dog-owners and professional handlers, Dog-wise shares the secret of living happily with a dog, learning more about ourselves, and applying lessons learned from dogs to everyday life. In Dog-wise, we meet a range of canines and the owners who share their stories. From showdogs to detection and guide dogs, from search and rescue dogs to guardian dogs and sled dogs, we follow dogs at work.
Learn what police dogs have in common with therapy dogs, what hunters and herders share, and what vets can tell about us from our dogs. If dogs make us human, as some people suggest, then what particular dogs have to teach us is worth understanding.
Dog-wise is for the curious dog owner, the new dog owner, or those who just want to know a bit more about dogs. A free preview is available through Amazon.com.
