The Dog

"The Dog" is the work of dog lovers Dinks, Mayhew, And Hutchinson. It is a comprehensive guidebook containing full instructions in all that relates to the breeding, rearing, breaking, kenneling, and conditioning of dogs. The author surmises that, "having experienced in his early days very great difficulty in finding to his hand a concise treatise, was induced to cull, from various authors what he found most beneficial in practice, into manuscript, and this collection he is induced to make public, in the hopes that any one "who runs may read," and, without searching through many and various voluminous authors, may find the cream, leaving the skim milk behind."
