Description:
In Two Puppies, authors Jane and Michael Stern continue their highly original investigation of canine issues with a look beyond the world of show dogs they explored in Dog Eat Dog. By following two puppies through the first two years of life, they show what can go right, as in the case of Parnell, the Labrador retriever raised to serve as a companion guide dog to a blind woman. And, through the antics of Clementine, the Sterns' own puppy -- what can go hilariously but instructively wrong.
Expand description
There are hundreds of things puppy owners should know about acquiring and raising a dog, and this guide supplies solid information on most of them, from how to purchase the right dog for you, to care instructions and training advice. Experienced dog owners themselves, the Sterns share their valuable insight into breeding and training as well as the magic bond that can develop between dog and human. They also remind us that puppies are never predictable, and that a puppy's new owner should be prepared for anything. While remaining true to their credo -- first entertain -- the Sterns have produced a veritable What to Expect When You're Expecting for current and future dog owners.
