I've had dogs around me my entire life. Very few days in my life have been spent without them. And those days were always lacking. I’ve shared life with mutts and purebreeds (Of course the only TRUE pure-breed is the wolf, from which all others sprang) and am now a 100% Golden Retriever addict.

I don’t just love MY Goldens, I love ALL Goldens! You walk down the street toward me with a Golden and you are going to be stopped, and your dog petted.

In general I am a sucker for any canid, whether it be “Gods dog” the Coyote, or mighty predator the Wolf, or even a little old lady’s apricot toy poodle. (Not my first choice, but there’s wolf in there somewhere!)

I even had some professional experience with wolves years ago. As a director of a small non-profit organization in New Mexico, I had the opportunity to work on Ted Turner’s ranch in the southern part of the state building Mexican Wolf reintroduction pens for the endangered species program of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

What an honor! To this day I am proud that I helped wild wolves regain in their rightful place among vast, open, wild places in the Southwest where they have roamed free for eons.

Maybe someday I will do a wild game cookbook for wolves. Who knows?

For now, I am happy to present a cookbook that will have dog lovers feeding their favorite quadrupeds gourmet treats and meals that are healthy, satisfying, diverse, and tail-wagging good!

It is widely known that the same old food, day in and day out, is boring. Ask anyone! It is also not as healthy for dogs to eat the same ‘ol stuff everyday, even if you feed them the most expensive, high-quality chow. Variety among a wide range of foods is the secret to improving and maintaining your dog’s health, happiness, and ultimately lengthening the number of years you get to spend with them.

Believe it or not, many dogs love things you’d never imagine. Carrots for instance! Break out a bag of those and chop into bite-size pieces and you have a 100% guilt-free treat most dogs love! Great for their teeth and great for their health.

Got a picky eater? I can guarantee there will be something in this cookbook that will make your fussy pup clean his bowl time and again.

I hope you enjoy this cookbook. Drop by anytime and say hi to me, Joe and Tyler and exchange recipes with other dog owners who are more than just a little fond of their pets!

Joe I have been a human lover all my life. I cannot remember a day without a good human around. Taking care of my human is my duty, 24/7. The man would literally be lost without me. It’s not an easy job. That’s why I require healthy food, concentrated petting and ear scratching, and lots of swimming in the river to keep in shape for my job.

Ever since I started eating the food in this book, my job has been easier. I have more energy, my coat is so shiny it makes the poodle down the street weak in the knees, and I can run for miles without stopping. Just ask the cats!

Tyler I have been a dog for as long as I can remember, and I can tell you, the last day my human put yet another bowl of the same old store-bought food in front of me without so much as a home-baked garlic and herb biscuit in it, I freaked! I admit I was pretty hard on him for a few days until he finally got the idea to put some spice in my life.

I mean, his big box of food with the heavy door has ALL KINDS of things in it I would eat if given the chance. Then he finally decided to give in, and I have been healthy and happy ever since. I can chase a ball around the moon on good days, and that’s saying a lot for a 10 year old dog in human years!
