Advanced SearchTrue or false book of dogs
They howl along with our singing, ward off strangers with their fierce barking, and welcome us at the door before we reach it. The animal-loving duo who created "The True-or-False Book of Cats" and "The True-or-False Book of Horses" teams up once again, this time to pay homage to our canine companions. In her accessible true-or-false format, Newbery Honor author Patricia Lauber enlightens the curious. She tells the whole story -- how certain wolves became dogs and how dogs became specialized while retaining wolflike traits. Rosalyn Schanzer shows forty different breeds of dog here -- as well as several mixed-breed varieties. With her caring touch, she captures the qualities that make us love them so.
Whether you' re the proud owner of a St. Bernard or dream of adopting a chihuahua, this book is for you. The friendship between you and your dog carries on a relationship that has lasted for thousands of years.
