5.0 out of 5 stars Fun-Educational-Helpful, November 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: 277 Secrets Your Dog Wants You to Know: A Doggie Bag of Unusual and Useful Information (Paperback)

If not the best, it is one of the best dog books I have read and I have read several. The book is written with the reader in mind and flows as you read. I read cover to cover as soon as I opened it and now go back to get answers to questions that pop up. I just reread the chapter on Dog Allergies and while I had the book open took another look at Expensive Gifts to Buy Your Dog. Most dog lovers on my gift list this year will find this truly fun and educational book in their stocking. I hope there is a new one in the wings.Be sure to take the Dog Nut quiz at the end.Your dog will love you for buying this book.
