library Journal two Books, One Topic, Two Different Approaches. Hotchner (pregnancy & Childbirth), A Screenwriter And Journalist, Has Written A Comprehensive, Accurate, Readable, And Reasonably Priced Encyclopedia Of Dog Ownership For The Lay Reader (illustrations Not Seen). Similar In Scope To The Original Dog Bible, Edited By Kristin Mehus-roe, This Book Covers The Entire Spectrum Of Canine Concerns: Selection, Training, Nutrition, Health, And More. The Checklists In Each Chapter Succinctly Summarize The Text. A Unique Feature Directed To Children, Scooby's Twenty-five Rules For Kids, Teaches Them How To Coexist Peacefully With Dogs. Katz (the Dogs Of Bedlam Farm; The New Work Of Dogs) Addresses Many Of The Same Topics. But He Relates Them Through His Own Experiences With Three Dogs: From Their Selection And Veterinary Care To Their Training (which He Emphasizes Must Be Daily And Lifelong), Problem Behaviors, And More. He Draws On The Works Of Experts Like Patricia Mcconnell (the Other End Of The Leash) And Stanley Coren (how Dogs Think), Plus His Study With Leading Trainers Such As Herding Authority Carolyn Wilki, To Expound His Rational Theory, Which Tailors The Teachings Of These Professionals To The Personalities Of The Individual Dog And Owner. His Commonsense Approach And Skill As A Storyteller Make This An Appealing, Informative Book. Both Titles Are Excellent Additions To Public Libraries, But If Your Library Already Owns Mehus-roe, You Need Not Purchase Hotchner.-florence Scarinci, Nassau Community Coll.
