The Straight Poop about DOG HEALTH

If, heaven forbid, your dog were deaf, you would love her no less, right? Some folks who have had to deal with that situation have put together a wonderful site devoted to providing resources for deaf dogs and their owners, and there is much there to inspire us all. "The Deaf Dogs Web Page".

The Straight Poop about DOG NUTRITION

With all the diet books out there, most of us have learned by now that the fundamental building blocks of any diet are proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Here's a comprehensive look by an expert at how they fit together and affect the performance of a sport dog...something all of us should be more aware of as we educate ourselves about what to put in our dear doggy's mouth. "Nutrition", by Steve Wolfson.

The Straight Poop guide to DOGS in the NEWS

The headline and lead to this story are deceptive. It is actually a thoughtful, non-hysterical discussion of the issues surrounding "a proliferation of larger, more aggressive dogs" and the 4.7 million Americans bitten by dogs annually. And a bonus...a set of safety tips to teach children (and useful for us all) on how to reduce the chances of being bitten by a dog. "Man's new best friend? Resurgence in dog bites brings back dog catchers." from MSNBC.

The Straight Poop featured DOG BOOK

Kafka said, "All knowledge, the totality of all questions and answers, is contained in the dog."

Intellectually and visually stimulating, 'A Thousand Hounds' is much more than a great collection of dog pictures (over 500). It's a celebration of the world's favorite animal, featuring the work of numerous famous photographers and artists (Picasso, Man Ray, Tillmans, Wegman and more), as well as captivating essays on the presence of dogs in the history of photography and their relations with man. A treat.

"A Thousand Hounds", by Miles Barth and Raymond Merritt
