Good dog books?

[Saeleofu]

Anyone know any good dog books?

I had a 3 month trial of Audible, and then just got a $10 coupon and spent it on a couple collie books. And now trying to cancel my membership, they gave me a $20 credit, so I have $20 more to spend on books. Any suggestions?

So far I have downloaded:
*Inside of a Dog (not a fan)
*His Dog
*Lad
*Thunder Dog
*Traveling Blind

Thanks!

Spencer Quinn writes amazing dog mysteries!

Ok not dog, but fascinating book by Karen Pryor: Lads Before the Wind

I got "One Good Dog" in the swap and I'm about halfway through and liking it a lot.

Dog Lost by Ingrid Lee is awesome. I just bought The Art of Raising A Puppy because Borders is going out of business. Not sure what I think of it yet.

I loved the first 90% of The Story Of Edgar Sawtelle, the last bit was so awful and at the same time depressing that it messed me up for a good while after. I literally cried reading it, probably cried myself to sleep, woke up and thought of it and cried again. I'd also start crying if I tried to tell someone about it for like a week afterwards. The thing is that I don't mind sad books, I mean I love Steinbeck, but this book just really messed me up. So yeah, a recommendation to stay away from the book, unless you quit while you're ahead and don't read the last 30-50 pages!

Bob, Son of Battle by Alfred Ollivant

The Collie: An Owner's Guide To A Happy Healthy Pet written by my mom. She tells several stories in the book, which are basically my childhood!

Merles Door.

I second The Story Of Edgar Sawtelle. When I started reading it I didn't know it had to do with dogs and was pleasantly suprised.

Where the red ferns grow. That is if you have not read that book yet.

See my opinion on Edgar Sawtelle: http://www.chazhound.com/forums/t139227/

Also some good book suggestions in that thread.

I second Merle's Door. Also, "How Dogs Think" by Stanley Coren, was fascinating and insightful. (Geez, I sound like an Amazon review!)

Let's see, what else is on my bookshelf? "Broadway Tails" by Bill Berloni. Not a training book per se, but he trained the Sandy dogs for the original Annie broadway musical, and it's all about animal actors, one of my favorite subjects.

Control Unleashed. And a bunch of computer books, LOL.
