"It is difficult to conceive of a more scrupulously researched,
anecdotally rich, historically provocative and wide-ranging work
about dogs than Mark Derr's latest. Drawing on an impressive array
of archival sources, the author of "Dog's Best Friend" has
succeeded in cobbling together a narrative that not only is epic in
scope, but chronicles in unsentimental and admirable depth the
complex, highly-charged, still-evolving relationship that our
nation and its people have shared with our so-called best friend.
Fascinating, enlightening, disturbing, and a dog-gone good read to
boot." --Bruce Olds, author of "Bucking the Tiger," owner of
Roisin
Praise for "Dog's Best Friend":
"Derr writes about the 'culture of the dog' like no one else. He
profiles some truly remarkable people-mushers, ranchers,
hunters-with a special affinity for getting inside the minds of
dogs." --"Men's Journal"
"Derr delivers much information and just plain common sense."
--Jonathan Yardley, "The Washington Post "
