Give Your Dog a Bone by Dr Ian Billinghurst (1993) Self-published

Now a classic Australian text on how to feed your dogs on a natural healthy raw diet.

Great book for reading to small kids who love dogs and for kids of reading age 9-12. Lots of true and quirky facts about dogs; the way they think and why they behave the way they do with lots of great photos.

Temple is an animal scientist and also autistic. She believes her autism and heightened sensory perception skills give her an extraordinary insight into understanding how animals see, think and feel. I found this an absolutely fascinating read.

Published in the classic 'DK' style with lots of wonderful colour pictures accompanying short bursts of text, in short easy-to-comprehend chapters, this is a great book for getting kids (and adults too!) interested in understanding dog behaviour.

A good training guide with lots of pictures and easy to follow instructions.

I really enjoyed this romantic novel that also outlines a story depicting the history of the development of the Australian Kelpie working dog. Rachael Treasure lives in rural Tasmania and her stories describe modern life in rural Australia.

I really enjoyed the 120 photographs in this meticulously recorded year in the life of 2 dogs and their litter of pups. A great insight into canine behaviour and mating, whelping and weaning! Probably hard to find now, but available second hand through Amazon books.

My all time favourite book of dog cartoons poking hilarious fun at how we worship our dogs.
