Hey Pup, Let's Talk

Dogs in difficulty can't write to Dear Abby, but author Miriam Yarden can solve their problems. She knows a little about interpreting canine troubles -- then turning their case histories into true-to-life stories with happy endings! Owners of nervous but otherwise lovable dogs will want to read the Case of the Hysterical Poodle. And sometimes, mischievous kids try even the friendliest dog's patience. For that problem, the author presents the Case of the Suffering Mastiff. Then, there is the Case of the Upset Akita, a dog with a talent for transforming fine furniture into debris fit only for the junkyard. In all, dog owners will find more than 30 case histories, with suggestions for solving problems that include paper training, barking, furniture chewing, and lots more.
