Spott's Canine Miscellany
By Mike Darton
Hardcover, 96 pages ($14.95)
Dog lovers will enjoy "pawing" through the hundreds of factoids, stats, trivia and other tidbits about man's best friend in this handsome little volume. Do you know why poodles are trimmed like topiaries? How to make a dog biscuit? What it really means when Fido yawns? And you'll smile at the smattering of perceptive quotes about canine companions, like this one from humorist Dave Barry: "Dogs feel very strongly that they should always go with you in the car, in case the need should arise for them to bark violently at nothing, right in your ear."
