technician who works with active dogs. Instead
it should occupy an honored space on their
desks, to be referred to again and again for its
easily accessible and comprehensive informa-

authors for their contributions to this outstand-

dogs who share our lives, teach us so many life

lessons, and even, in turn, heal us.
