He is the impressively credentialed and nationally recognized principle stylist and owner of Doggy Dooz Pet Styling Salon in Chicago, where his waiting list is hundreds of dogs long.

Jill Cahr has been involved with Chicago animal shelters for over 10 years and has lived her whole life with dogs.

Jill and her family share their home with Shadow, a rescued Miniature Poodle.
Happy Dog: Caring For Your Dog's Body, MInd and Spirit is this dynamic duo's first book.
I am, of course, biased and saddled with a huge conflict of interest (I was married to one of the co-authors) but I can nevertheless attest that this book is incredibly useful and enormously entertaining. If you have a dog, and always wondered what you really needed to know in order to take care of your four legged friend, this is the book for you.
I ended up skimming and skipping a good portion of the book. Some of the information was very good, but I just didn't care for the author and his presentation of the information.
