Praise for this book
Dog lovers seldom ask themselves, "Why?" We just love dogs. So it should come as no surprise that dog lovers will also love the Sam and Gunny K9 Adventure Series...and without wondering why. Book 3 in the Series, The Very First Dog, is a theoretical tale about when, where, and how dogs became "man's best friend," and it does so in a way that prompts the reader to look beyond where his or her particular dog came from and to consider where all dogs came from. This story-line, like the two before it, is a blend of practical, scientific, and mystical ways of seeing the world around us (or smelling the world around him in Gunny's case). The author's experiences as a real-life Search And Rescue dog-handler gives the reader a window into how dogs sometimes operate, and in ways that we usually don't think about as pet owners.
