Do you or does someone you know have a dog in their life? Then this book is just as much as a must as a primer in first aid for humans. After I read it I wondered why this content is more universally known and taught, especially since learning how to create and secure an impromptu muzzle is the first step in protecting the responder and supporting the dog in question. This isn’t vet school so much as clear and practical instructions in common accidents and illnesses dogs my face to help you get to the vet for expert treatment.
