Title: Hair-raising; not for dog lovers
Review: Well, a lot has been said about others about the grittiness of detail. I work as a vet tech & have 3 dogs, so I'm used to all that sort of thing but his descriptions even bother me. You wonder if the guy is quite right in the head. After going thru all sorts of misadventure trying to breed her, and watching the birth with fascination and tenderness, he immediately goes for a bucket to drown some pups because he's just realized that he can't have that many dogs in his apartment. Trying to take into account that this all took place a long time ago (by the standards of the dog behavior & training culture), this book still offends me and plain old gives me the creeps.
