Dogs enrich our lives, and in turn we would like to give our dogs the best quality of life that we can. Following Aristotle's formulation of the Good Life--feeling good, being good, and doing good--Dr. Lee Harris weaves together anecdotes and observations from his forty years in veterinary practice with current scientific discoveries in medicine, behavior, nutrition, and exercise to reveal how lifestyle determines the health and happiness of our canine friends. The result is a comprehensive and practical search for how we can make life better for the dogs that share our lives.
