“The How and Why Wonder Book of Dogs: Deluxe Edition” by Irving Robbin, 1962

$15.00

“It would be amusing to visualize a curious dog nuzzling through the pages of this book to find a picture of itself, or perhaps a paragraph describing its particular qualities. Of course, doges cannot read about themselves, but we are able to imagine such a picture because dogs are noted for their high degree of intelligence.

Through the centuries, dogs have been developed, or bred, for special skills - skills that man has used to his great advantage. Even though dogs now differ from one another according to breed, all of them developed from one grand ancestor, and dogs were already on earth at the time of man’s first recorded history.

The How and Why Wonder Book of Dogs is generously illustrated with pictures and filled with descriptions of most present-day dogs. The book catches the spirit of the matchless usefulness of these devoted and versatile animals. It is a book for all young people to use at home or in school as they search for new and interesting information about man’s best friend.”
