Product Description: For dog lovers everywhere, here is the book that describes the magical bond between owner and dog - and the remarkable range of attitudes and behaviors that dogs exhibit. No one who loves dogs will see them in quite the same way after reading this book.

The Magic of Dogs begins with a thought-provoking description of what dogs actually are, including a biological explanation of a dog's capabilities - from sight to hearing to feelings. Then Tarrant, using his own and many others' experiences with pups, leads the reader through the training, caring, loving, and communicating processes that an owner must develop with his or her dog from puppyhood to adulthood.

The Magic of Dogs also explores current veterinary procedures in America - both pros and shocking cons.

This is an important book for anyone who owns a dog or is thinking of getting one. (61/4 X 91/4, 276 pages, b&w photos)
