by Christy M. Oslund (Author) 30 years of living with, training, and rehabilitating dogs has brought Chris into contact with a range of dog personalities. She's helped both dogs who cowered in fear and those who were ready to bite first learn that some people could still be trusted. No dog in her experience, however, was quite like Gracie, the little English Bull Terrier she pulled from the fate of being a backyard breeder. Alternating stories of what life is like with dogs when one of them is an EBT, this handbook also offers recommendations for choosing a breed suitable to the reader's lifestyle and temperament; tips for sale traveling, kenneling, and feeding; and planning for a dog's future in case a person should ever experience unexpected life circumstances. It's also a testament to the special bond that people and dogs develop and reaffirms that our lives are often richest when shared with a canine companion. Author Biography Dr. Christy Oslund has graduate degrees from Michigan Technological University, Michigan State, and Northern Michigan University. She's also been a midwife to livestock, rehabilitated domestic and wild animals, and continues to support dog and horse rescue.
