Could you recommend a book about dogs?

There are lots of books about dogs and pets in general, especially in English language, so it may be a bit difficult to recommend one book without knowing more details about needs and interests. Are you considering your first dog and needing some basic information about dog breeds and dog care? Most bigger libraries in Finland should also have some English-language books about dogs.

Online bookshop http://www.amazon.com/ has many lots of book reviews written by customers and also lists by customers where they recommend the books they have found to be most useful. One such list is available online here:
