is the latest in the series of the For the Love of ... books. Written by Allison Weiss Entrekin, editor of Doggie Aficionado magazine, this whimsical book is a fun read and tribute to dogs of all sorts.From A-to-Z, you'll learn an interesting doggie tidbit for every letter of the alphabet. Some answers revealed in this book:
- Does Bo Obama share the President's bed?
- What instinct do all dogs share?
- Which breed was originally bred to help fishermen catch fish that escaped from their hooks?
And while we desperately hoped that "H" stood for Havanese, we weren't disappointed with Entrekin's choice. Our favorite however, was the choice of It's Me or the Dog's Victoria Stilwell, who wrote in the book's forward, "to me, 'P' is for Positive -- always has been, always will be. "
With colorful illustrations by Mark Anderson, this is a charming book, appropriate for all ages. So whether your dog is "A" for Adopted or "Z" for catching some ZZZs there's something for every dog lover in this book.
