About this title

Synopsis

Dog Talk chronicles Harrison Forbes's life with dogs, from the first bond he formed as a boy with his neighbor's Belgian Tervuren, Sabina, to the story of Lex, a police dog who attacked his handler's wife, was saved by Harrison from euthanasia, and transformed into his favorite companion. Dog Talk combines Forbes's intense love for these extraordinarily driven and intelligent creatures with the more practical aspects of understanding and dealing with whatever type of dog the reader may have at home.

Dog Talk will deepen the reader's understanding of dog behavior and as a result will enable him to approach his own dog in a fresh and motivated way to begin, improve, mend, or strengthen a relationship that can last a lifetime.
