5.0 out of 5 stars Paws Up To Dr. Ackerman!, March 9, 2002
This review is from: The Contented Canine: A Guide to Successful Pet Parenting for Dog Owners (Paperback)
I like Dr. Ackerman's refreshing approach of regarding owners as pet parents. Dogs truly are members of our families. He seemed to address all my questions and concerns from picking the right food to keeping my dog safe and healthy and even to better understanding doggie behavior. His writing style is upbeat and empowering. Definitely a must buy for anyone who shares a home with a dog!
