Gone to the Dogs: Life with My Canine Companions
by: Jones, Robert F & Jones, Louise
First there was Luke, the great black Lab who was the perfect bird
dog, and a beloved companion. When Robert Jones worried that Luke's time
was short, he brought a yellow Lab puppy, Jake, into his home. The account
of Jake's training and Luke's end was documented in the highly praised
Upland Passage. Ten years later, Jones began to worry about Jake's age
and health. That's when Bart came into the picture. Bart was an irascible
and adorable black Lab puppy that the Joneses and Jake and their Jack
Russell terrier Roz welcomed into their home. Jones and Jake together
began training Bart to become a bird dog. But Jake did not live to see
Bart come into his own. And worse, Jones didn't either. What began as
an account of the young life of Bart became a much deeper story-about
the love of dogs and men, and the enrichment that relationship can bring
to a life, and the profound transforming effects of love and loss. Louise
Jones has completed Bart's story and in doing so, she has offered a lasting
testament to the lives of Jake, and her late husband, Robert F. Jones.

pet experts, provides busy owners with simple ways to build healthy, harmonious
relationships with their beloved dogs. Small adjustments in diet, exercise,
and environment can make all the difference in creating better-adjusted
pets. Moore offers quick solutions that are simple to execute but often
deliver big results. And her suggestions for games and playful training
sessions will help owners improve time spent with their furry friends.
Presented in an easy-to-read, accessible format, and is enhanced with
facts, quotes, and colorful call-out boxes, making it the must-have guide
for on-the-go owners. With Moore's help, even the busiest dog owner can
