Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between a dog and a man. Pudd n-head Wilson sC alendar. PREFACE. You will find in this second edition, quite a lot of new and valuable information on dogs, the book much enlarged and greatly improved over the first one I got out.

For five years I have worked on this edition, ever since I wrote and issued the first one, and I hope that I have compiled in this edition all that is necessary for a dog owner to know, so that by following the teachings of the book you will be able to properly care for and treat your dog as it deserves the very lest you can do for it and this none too good. Always for dogs faithfully yours, AL. G. EBERHART. P. S. Wherever in these pages I have given prescriptions or theories I have tried and intended giving credit to the authority quoted; but incidental to getting up a work of this kind, I may not have in each case given proper credit. I want to say here that a good part of the information given wag gained by having been a constant reader of the American Field. Field andF ancy, American Stock-K eeper, The Doo Fancier andS portsmen sR eview, dog papers that every dog lover or dog owner should be regular readers of, and from all of which they can derive great benefit. For much of the good advice given herein I have my friend Harry W. Lacy, kennel editor of the American Stock-K eeper, to thank, and several valuable proscriptions given were taken from the American Field, from their Answers to Correspondents column this eJ jj
