Living with Dogs
Raincoast Books, $17.95

“The whule of the life of

another being fitting into a
part of our own; the life of a
being who lives in: ways that
we aspire to live in: without

i vanicy, envy, bitterness or pre-
tensions, with wholekearted-
ness and natural joy, love and
forgiveness,

No wonder we feel expand-

ed when we bring a dog into
our lives.”
SO reads the introduction to
Living with Dogs, a brand-
new book by Henry and
Mary Ellen Korman.

The book explores the

connections benween scores
lof dog owners and their

canine companions. A great

read for those of us who

answer “Yes” to the question

“Are you a dog person?”
