Second Chance - Living With a Rescued Dog

The dog is known as Man's Best Friend, but this is a relationship which can go wrong. When it does the dog is usually the loser. Sometimes a dog becomes homeless because of the ill health or death of its owner. Sometimes it is simply discarded by a person who can no longer cope, or who no longer cares for his pet. Then there are creatures misused or mistreated by man.

Dog-lovers have created a large network of organisations to rescue, care for, rehabilitate and rehome those in need. Rescuing a dog can be immensely rewarding for new owners determined to give their new pets a second chance to find happiness and contentment. But many dogs will need special care and understanding.

In this book, Judy and Larry Elsden draw on years of experience working with dogs to give owners invaluable advice on training, feeding, exercise, coat care, and in particular coping with behavioural problems that may arise. The work of the rescue organisations is highlighted, and there are many heartwarming stories of dogs who have been successfully rehomed.

Above all, this is an essential handbook for owners of rescued dogs. It is designed to help you get the best from, and give the best to, your new friend.
