Even though I do not want to take on a career involving dog this book was very informative and great to read! I highly suggest especially if you are considering a career with dogs. There were just so many careers with dogs that I was not aware with. Here are some of the new careers i learned about:
1) Physical Therapist For Dog (Really weird yet cool in my opinion)
2) Massage Therapist For Dog
3) Pet Cemetery Owner (Kinda creepy :O)
4) Flight attendant for pet airlines (Didn't even know they had a pet airlines!)
5) Doghouse architect

There were more interesting careers yet I don't remember them right now.Anyways this was a great book for all of you dog lovers :)

3.5. Very comprehensive. Geared towards high school/college age group. Didn't realize when I checked it out that it was published in 2011, so the career projections, resources, etc. are naturally outdated. Still some interesting & unusual career ideas.
