Synopsis

"Dog Talk" chronicles Harrison Forbes' life with dogs, from the first bond he formed as a boy with a Belgian Tervuren named Sabina, to the story of Lex, a police dog who attacked his owner's wife, and was redeemed by Harrison's intense love and respect for the breed. Forbes also offers practical aspects of understanding and dealing with whatever type of dog the reader may have. "Dog Talk" will deepen the reader's understanding of dog behaviour and as a result will enable him to approach his own dog in a fresh and motivated way to begin, improve, mend or strengthen a relationship that can last a lifetime. In "Dog Talk", the pet owner will find fascinating insights into behavioural problems, as each chapter addresses a different situation or issue. "Dog Talk" has the potential of being as successful as John Grogan's "Marley & Me".
