Dogs' Most Wanted: The Top 10 Book of Historic Hounds, Professional Pooches, and Canine Oddities Feature
“Man’s best friend” is the subject of another fun- and fact-filled book in Potomac's Most Wanted™ series, Dogs’ Most Wanted™: The Top 10 Book of Historic Hounds, Professional Pooches, and Canine Oddities, by Alexandra Powe Allred. Allred provides fascinating details about the history of the canine, from mythological beasts to war and rescue dogs to pampered family pets. With more than seventy top-ten lists on dog trivia, there are more things dog here than at the Westminster dog show in February.
Curious about which breed is right for you? Allred has the facts, with lists on the best breeds for kids, most and least trainable, best and worst watchdogs, and types of dogs working for law enforcement. For you dog owners, Allred has tips on how to keep your dog healthy and what health problems you might share. Dogs are not only our companions but play a role in pop culture as well, and Allred gives full details on Hollywood dogs, all the different Lassies, college-mascot pooches, and tips on how to break your dog into showbiz! She discusses First Dogs of White House lore and famous animated hounds. And because Hollywood doesn’t have a monopoly on celebrated canines, Allred examines the heroic roles dogs have had in war, natural disasters, and everyday bravery.
The old song says, “There was a farmer had a dog and Bingo was his name-o.” If that farmer had a dog book, Dogs’ Most Wanted™: The Top 10 Book of Historic Hounds, Professional Pooches, and Canine Oddities would certainly be the name. Oh!
