 Not what I'd recommend December 22, 2007
I've spend decades hiking and backpacking with my dogs in parks and wilderness areas across the country. My first trips were made with a mutt I had in the 70's, now I hike with a pack of three purebreds who range in age from 10 years to 8 months.
I've read most of what's out there on hiking with your dog. This book was unremarkable largely because it was so poorly organized and prepared. There isn't any new or particularly insightful information included - and I suspect it is a vanity press edition as I was distressed at the large number of spelling and grammatical errors in the book. Gary my friend, that's the Monks of New Skete, (skeets are what we shoot!)
Hiking and backpacking with your dogs is a wonderful way to bond with them but I suggest you find a different book to guide your way.
 it barely scratched the surface!!! July 3, 2007

I was very disappointed by the book. I thought it would contain more than an emergency kit checklist and multiple references to other things to do with dogs. It was definitely not worth the money. It was also frustrating to see multiple typos as I read the book. My advice...keep looking for another book. I am returning this one as soon as the mailman comes back.

From basic to advanced, picking the right kind of dog to canine first aid, what you need to know is here. Many helpful facts and advice that anyone considering dog ownership and/or hiking should know. This book offers a bonus - it can be read just for the joy of reading, as well as the great experience and guidance in contains.
