1. The photographs make this book special, although there is quite a bit of information about human/dog interaction on its pages too. The information isn't just facts - feelings and emotions are represented too.

   From the 10,000 year old tomb of a woman who was buried with her arm around her dog to the young people in the detention centre in California who train assistance dogs this bond between humans and dogs has held firm. The writer mentions some working dogs - sheep herders, sled dogs, guide dogs and drug sniffers but he makes it clear that most dogs are companion dogs who spend most of their time eating and sleeping.

   The writer did a good job of exploring the bonding and the emotional contact between people and their dogs without too much mawkish sentiment. There was even a brief mention of the darker side of the relationship - older dogs who are abandoned by their humans.

   But mostly this is a feel-good, happy book with wonderful photographs of people and their dogs. Read it to relax and enjoy.

1. A bunch of short stories by Brittany owners sharing their experiences afield with this great breed. Nothing in any way pertaining to the training of a Brittany. A good read for those looking for a quick story. Sadly many stories start with how the authors own dog died.



2. A Feisty Little Pointing Dog: A Celebration Of The Brittany showcases a dog breed famous as a hunter's companion for game birds. Known best as a premier gun dog, the Brittany's skills are truly exceptional and the subject of twenty-six outstanding stories by a variety of experienced and articulate contributors in tribute to this noble canine. Editor David Webb is an accomplished trainer, breeder, and field-trialer who has devoted nearly twenty years to the Brittany and personally selected each story. A Feisty Little Pointing Dog is enthusiastically recommended (and occasionally inspiring) reading for all dog lovers, but in particular to those who have hunted with the Brittany and come to appreciate what this friendly and stalwart animal companions have to offer.

1. A very good collection of horse stories! I was thrilled to see that I hadn't already read al the stories included. All too often these treasuries of equine literature are just bits and peices from My Friend Flicka, Black Beauty, and other famous horse novels I have already read, both in the complete book and in countless other horse story collections. And while this work includes segments from National Velvet and Black Beauty, most other stories were from less worn sources. Overall, antique yet fresh tales mix with the best of classic equine literature for a delightful new collection.
