Gladys Taber has been writing about dogs, and Bob Kuhn has been drawing dogs for the best magazines and books for years and years, and they really know! This is truly a "first" book about this lovable animal, for it tells you about all kinds and sizes of dogs, and just why they are such wonderful friends. You can read here about dogs who are just good companions, dogs who save lives - even dogs who do war work. You can read here about the hardy Eskimo dogs who pull heavy sleds in the frozen north; about the Seeing Eye dogs who lead the blind; about the handsome Dalmations who go out with the firemen to help them rescue people; about collies who help farmers tend their sheep and cattle. . . . . .And, most important of all, it will help you know how to make your dog happy, and indeed your best friend.
