Helping you how to choose a breed (and where to get it from), to the joy and chaos of puppies, to feeding and training your dog, to choosing a vet and even how to cope with illnesses and death, this title takes you through every facet of dog ownership. It is a celebration of happy dogs and the happy people who own them.

Equal parts a celebration of the joys of owning dogs and a practical guide to their care, full of India Knight's trademark wit and wisdom.
With dogs more popular than ever, The Goodness of Dogs presents every facet of dog ownership in manageable, research-­heavy sections. With chapters ranging from how to choose a breed (and where to get it from), to feeding and training your dog, to choosing a vet and how to cope with illnesses and death. At once a companion, a manual and a repository of useful information, this book also contains autobiographical asides about the goodness of dogs and their life-­enhancing qualities. Full of India Knight's inimitable wit and the sound advice she is famous for, and beautifully illustrated by Sally Muir, this book would make the perfect gift for any dog-­lover.

Recenzijas

This book is must buy for any actual or prospective dog owner. Wise, clever, funny, there is something for all dog people in here, however much one thinks one knows * Liberty London Girl * Mixing the personal with the practical . . . a useful, well-structured read for those considering their first dog, and for the dog-ambivalent among us. * Observer * Reflects sense, affection and research * Evening Standard * A lovely book * Lucy Mangan, Daily Telegraph * Knight's words feel like you're speaking with that friend who always gives you the best advice...an entertaining and informed read. * Stylist on In Your Prime * I love India and her no-nonsense, honest and utterly hilarious guide to navigating the post-45 years. * Marian Keyes on In Your Prime, Mail on Sunday * Knight is tremendously opinionated, but there is something strangely comforting about her robust certainty. Reading her book is like having a conversation with a fearfully bossy but beloved old chum. * Daily Mail on In Your Prime *
