Going to the Dogs!

Man's Best Friend
The idea of 'man's best friend' has been around for countless years but the outpouring of unique books about dogs has recently caught our attention. With growth in the self-publishing industry, we now find books about anything and everything dog...

One Nation Under Dog: Adventures in the New World of Prozac-Popping Puppies, Dog-Park Politics, and Organic Pet Food by Michael Schaffer gives an inside look at the 41 billion dollar pet industry. Our pets are big business. The social aspects of creating consumer love affairs with pet products are explored. Interesting anecdotes about our beloved dogs round out this witty and sometimes alarming read.

For families whose dogs are more than mere pets, here's a few fun titles to share with your pooch:
