| Publisher Description: They say dogs have it made. Well, these dogs certainly do. This engaging collection of stories shows how much fun it can be to say yes to your pooch and take him along with you rather than abandoning him to a kennel or a dog-sitter. The dogs here get to see the world, from the tracks of the Iditarod in Alaska to an across-the-USA jaunt with her master on horseback to a table at a fine Paris restaurant. These dogs are sometimes pampered, other times challenged, but always appreciated as they accompany their owners on their journeys. In this book you will: - look for dingoes in Australia - feel what it's like to have a guide dog by your side - prepare for a dog show - stay in a four-star hotel that caters to dogs - see how your dog can break the cultural ice in rural Mexico and much more. This book spans every continent and every emotion, and also provides many leads in a resource section to information for traveling with your own canine friend. |
