Publisher's Synopsis
A complication of facts and stories, history and science, pictures, Quotations and comments by the compiler made about that marvelous creature - the dog. In the world, there are two kinds of people, Cat People, and Dog People. I don't include those who like dogs and cats and cars, they are indecisive, and those who don't like either cats or dogs aren't human. The terms "dog people" and "cat people" refer to a person's domesticated animal preference. Some people base a significant portion of their identity around their affinity for either cats or dogs, describing themselves as a "cat person" or a "dog person." (ABC News. "Dog People vs. Cat People: What Pet Preference Says About You.")For this book on dogs, I do not label myself author, but rather compiler. My contribution to a source of considerable information about dogs is to research available materials and meld them into one resource, tied together by my personal comments on the various aspects of our best friend's lives and services - the dog. Wendy tells the stories of our three bels. My original goal in preparing this project was to compile a reasonably exhaustive account of dogs for my family and friends. However, I hope that others will find the presentation interesting, entertaining, and educational. I make no claims that this is a so-called scholarly project. I give credit to those whose work I share but do not describe it as a research project. I have chosen the information to be shared, how it is presented. Without apology, others might believe that something is missing. I would be surprised if that wasn't true. There is so much to share about the beautiful animal, the dog. The project is inspired by my love of dogs - in particular, our family dogs.
