Living with a dog is more than having a pet, it becomes a member of the family. It is a companion for adventures and games, while at the same time, it implies responsibility.
I always said that having a dog is not for everyone, beyond how beautiful their companies are, owners must take many things into consideration before even thinking about having one. Cynthia Flowers is the author of this interesting book about the process that every owner has to go through before owning a dog. As the reader progresses in the reading, the author shares the experience of 5 dogs and this makes the reading more interesting. I certainly recommend this book to all those readers who are interested in acquiring a dog.
