[Kathryn · Rating 5 out of 5]

A wry look at dogs, evolution and fishing. This is the second and greatly expanded version of this book, and I think it is even better than the first. Coppinger's unique blend of dry humor, story telling, and science leads to a truly enjoyable read. This isn't simply a book of fictitious dog breeds it is an intelligent and hilarious look at how humans have and have not influenced dogs. While this book reads like a DIY for the angler looking for the right breed of dog to help them with their fishing excursions, I would recommend it to anyone with a sense of humor, especially if they like dogs.

Pretty funny, especially if you've been exposed to the pure-bred dog world.
