Never Bite When a Growl Will Do

In this delightful hardcover, dogs large and small, purebred and mixed, are captured in endearing photographs paired with inspirational quotes — "If what you want lies buried, dig deeper," "Keep learning new tricks" — that take on new meaning when rendered from a dog's-eye view. After years of meeting challenges (flying Frisbees) and enjoying the moment (midday naps), these pups offer tips for navigating a world riddled with bigger dogs and elusive sticks. This book is the perfect gift for everyone who might enjoy an encouraging word from their neighborhood hound.
