1964
WATER DOG, Revolutionary Rapid Training method, with dust jacket,
by Richard Wolters, featuring lots and lots of photos of Tar the black
Labrador Retriever, 179 pp, 6 3/4" x 9", you can learn quite a bit about
training and spending time with a dog pretty fast with this book even if
you are not looking to train your dog as a retriever, fair to poor condition,
looks like the last dog trained with this book did not appreciate it much
and gnawed the spine and part of both covers away, also got some pages,
but all information is there and surprisingly the binding is still solid,
this book is not going to fall apart on you, personally I get a kick out
of the teeth marks #SP27174 $5.50

GREATHEART
by Ethel Dell, 504 pp., 1918 romance novel with (I believe short-haired)
Saint Bernard dog on the dustjacket, dog is not really in the story except
a partial sentence reference to one being there, the dog is not Greatheart,
story is typical romance novel but was considered good enough to reprint
in 1980, 5 1/4" x 7 3/4", hardcover, published by G. P. Putnam's Sons,
book is in fine condition, alas the dust jacket is very rough, most
of the spine area is missing, it does still stay on the book though
