Dogs have been our constant and loyal companions for thousands of years. They have hunted with us, they have protected us, they have helped us domesticate other creatures and they have made it possible for us to inhabit the most inhospitable places on Earth.
Our goal is to celebrate dogs, to honor their gifts and to better understand what they are trying to tell us. To appreciate what dogs are rather than demand they be what we want them to be. Dogs are our best friends and they deserve we be theirs.
If we can learn what dogs can teach us — to be kinder, to be more giving and more compassionate, to live life to the fullest — we will be happier with life and better human beings. What’s the downside?

Our Recommendations
Over the almost 20 years of working with, being around, living with and rescuing dogs, I have gathered a good amount of knowledge about these wonderful creatures. I have learned the most from the dogs, they are indeed the best teachers. But I have also learned a great deal from the countless humans who, like me, spend a significant part of their lives working with and learning from dogs. I have read many books, watched many videos and have come across a good many internet websites that have taught me much, offered new ways to look at age-old issues and considered a kinder, more compassionate relationship with our best friends. I share what I feel are the best of these resources here with you and hope you will also find them useful.
Note: My Dog’s Best Friend does not benefit financially, in any way, from any recommendations, promotions or endorsements you find here. All recommendations are made because I feel they are valuable to anyone who loves dogs and wants to learn more about them. It’s that simple, NO fine print!
