The hilarious canine compendium, essential for new and experienced dog-owners alike. As every experienced dog-owner knows, man's best friend is a complex bundle of appetites, instincts and winsome wiles. Few first-time owners will realise, however, just what a responsibility they are taking on. So Thelwell has kindly provided them with this invaluable handbook full of advice on choosing, training, feeding, exercising and caring for our four-legged friends. It also emphasises the importance of protecting one's own interests - not to mention those of one's neighbours - for an ill-trained hound will soon develop a healthy disrespect for law and order. Here is a superb cartoon collection designed to give every dog-owner a new leash of life in the canine world. "The master English cartoonist...a laugh a page...a delectable collectable" Publishers Weekly About the author: Norman Thelwell (1923-2004) was born in Birkenhead, Cheshire. He was educated locally at Rock Ferry High School. During the Second World War, he served in India with the East Yorkshire Regiment, Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (1942-6). While art editor of an army publication, he had his first cartoons published in London Opinion. After the war, he studied at Liverpool School of Art (1947-50) and lectured on illustration at Wolverhampton College of Art (1950-7).
