From the Author --------------- Love dogs? Me, too! I've been writing about pets and their care for more than a decade in newspapers and, more recently, in the Pet Care Forum of America Online. "Dogs For Dummies" is my first book, and in it, I tried to answer all the questions people have been asking me over the years. I think I hit about all of them. But there's more! I tried to work in plenty of fun things to do with your dog, from traveling (which my dogs love!) to competitions from agility to sledding. The book has been well-received, which makes me very happy to think that it will be helping so many dogs and their owners. "Dogs For Dummies" was recently named "Best General Reference Book" by the Dog Writers Association of America, and also received the DWAA's President's Award for the best entry of their 1996 writing competition. Don't think I don't care about cats, though: I'm working on "Cats For Dummies" now. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
