Summary

As every dog owner knows, man's best friend is a complex bundle of appetites, instincts and winsome wiles. Few first-time owners will realise, however, quite what they are taking on. But Thelwell's comic compendium will explain everything you need to know and provide a new leash of life.

Top Dog Summary

Top Dog by Thelwell Norman

A hilarious canine compendium, essential for new and experienced dog owners alike. As all dog owners know, man's best friend is a complex bundle of appetites, instincts, and winsome wiles. Few first-time owners will realize, however, just what a responsibility they are taking on. So Norman Thelwell kindly provided them with this invaluable handbook full of advice on choosing, training, feeding, exercising, and caring for our four-legged friends. It also emphasizes the importance of protecting one's own interests - not to mention those of one's neighbours - for an ill-trained hound will soon develop a healthy disrespect for law and order. Here is a superb cartoon collection designed to give every dog owner a new leash of life in the canine world. From the business of choosing a puppy and the troubles of training to the foibles of different breeds, 'Top Dog' is an indispensable companion for all fans of man's best friend.
