The authors name: James Herriot. His real name was James Alfred Wright, and he wrote about his experiences as a country vet in England.
Its been a while since Ive read any of his stuff but I was glad I picked up his book and started reading. He writes about cases involving horses,cows, sheep,cats,and of course my favorite stories are about the dogs.
The stories he writes about a Pekingese named Tricki Woo are laugh out loud funny and the best one is when Trickis mistress explains how Tricki goes "crackerdog."
Mr. Herriot was not only a great writer but also a great vet because his advice for Trickis crackerdog episodes where right on the money.
You see, Trickis owner, Mrs. Pumphrey, explained it Mr. Herriot: "Well, he was laying his game, and he does adore it so, when suddenly without warning,he went
crackerdog. He began to run around in circles, barking and yelping in such a strange way. Then he fell over and lay like a little dead thing."
Mr. Herriot explained it as Hysteria, brought on by wrong feeding. His remedy for Tricki Woo was a proper diet.
Mr. Herroit makes such a great point. I have seen a lot of dogs that suffered from behavior problems because of the food that was being fed.
My sheltie Sammi is approaching 18 years old. She is going a deaf and her eyesight isnt as good as it used to be, but she still has a beautiful coat, a great appetite and no health problems.
I started researching dog food about ten years ago and discovered that it makes a huge difference, not only in your dogs health but also in your dogs behavior.
Coming up in next months updates in the Dog Training Inner Circle, I am going to go into this subject in great detail, explaining what I think is the best diet for your dog and why.
