Are You As Smart As Your Dog? (Paperback)

This book is filled with color pictures, cartoons and entertaining stories about all of the author's ten dogs. The original (adult oriented) book was published in 2009 with eight dogs. It has now been upgraded adding two and improved to appeal to children. Each dog has taught the author valuable lessons about life and about herself. She has tried to capture those lessons to amuse you and, perhaps, to give you a different perspective and a new appreciation for canine philosophy as you ponder the question “Are you as smart as your dog?”

June Morrison is a retired 87-year old senior living in Zelienople. She has loved "Man's Best Friend" all her life and has compensated for the lack of children with 10 of them. When she took her first Irish Setter, Mickey, to Obedience Training classes, the instructor started out the session by saying, "In order to successfully train a dog, you must be smarter than the dog." She always ends this story by saying "And then half the class got up and left!" That was a slight exaggeration, but in the end, the class agreed with the instructor. She trained all her dogs to fit her lifestyle, but also spoiled every one of them shamelessly. All, except one, experienced the joy of running free in the various parks and game lands she used. She prefers the sporting breed of dogs and thoroughly enjoys an "up" dog, one that requires a lot of exercise and makes her happy just to experience their delight vicariously. She currently rescued and fosters a 16-year old Brittany, Benny, that she just received a year ago. Currently June may be contacted in Zelienople at junemorrison@zoominternet.net or 724-452-3686 She is always delighted to interact with dog lovers.
