Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First of all, this book is written backwards and clearly comes directly from the mind of a scientist rather than from the heart of a dog lover. An editor's touch in sequencing would have made this book perfect. Let me explain what I mean by that. The whole first part of the book is an explanation of means and methods. It is a dry read and yet it's information you would want to know, if the findings section of the book left you curious for more. If you are like me you will skim the first chapters and dig into the later chapters. Then later, once you have finished the actually informative parts of the book, you will go back and read the clinical minutia that led up to it. You will do that because you want to judge the conclusions on the merit of how they were gained. So to sum up that critique, everything that I needed to be here was here. It's only flaw is the presentation. The back of the book should have BEEN the book and the front of the book should have been appendixes, footnotes and back matter explanation. How many stars should be docked for that? None in my view. I loved this book and am free enough of a thinker to sequence the material for myself. The bottom line is that every dog lover should read this to affirm the love and respect that they hold for this noble beast...even if you read it out of order.
