I won’t lie. For the first few pages of this book, I wished the pictures of the dogs were photos rather than drawings. If the same feeling happens to you, I suggest you stick with this, as in time, the drawings really grew on me. I LOVED THEM!!
The author takes us through the history of puppers, various breeds, defining a breed, dog types and roles and then – we go through what seems like every dog in the world. Country by country, region by region. Even including street, village and wild dogs. Each accompanied by a delightful drawing.
I couldn’t leave this review without mentioning the first dog ever to be cloned was an Afghan Hound called Snuppy in 2005. He lived a normal life for ten years. I’d never heard of Snuppy,
If you love dogs, you might just enjoy this. I have no doubt you’ll learn something about our best friends too.
A delightful and informative book.

Thank you NetGalley,
I loved this book. It will be a fun book for people of all ages. I learned so much about different types of dogs. As someone who thought they knew a lot of dog breeds I was wrong. So many different breeds from all over. I loved the illustrations of the different types of dogs and the description. It was like Dogs 101 but in an easy to follow book.

I love this book and I can’t wait to buy a physical copy! The illustrations are so cute and the author did a phenomenal job with their research.
A few things that stood out to me:
- Soooo much yes as far as sports mixes go (there’s a lot of controversy about sports mixes and I’m so glad they were included in the book).
- I loved the disclaimer about docking. It’s standard in AKC but not allowed in other countries.
- I really loved the genetics side of the book. Such as changes in the breed that have made them adapt well to their jobs.
