Testimonials

"The book [How to Select the Best Dog or Puppy for Your Children] is a great reference! For somebody who knows a little bit about a certain kind of dog but doesn't have the time to research many other breeds, this is the best! I was able to consider other breeds of dogs that I would never have imagined to be suitable for my children."

Thanks!

“Shannon has done a wonderful job in her research. I'm very picky in the breeds that I'd recommend for children and Shannon's choices are right on the money. She even includes some lesser known breeds that love the attention of children but few families even know they exist!”

“I read your book and really enjoyed it. You have so much practical information in there. I really love the pic's and I especially appreciate that you stress that choosing a dog should not be left up to the child. This is so important. As someone who has volunteered in several animal shelters, I have seen the results of the "but my daughter promised she would take care of her..." deal.”

Hi Shannon,

I just had to write to say “thank you”, and how impressed I was with your book: “best Dog for Children”. The book was beautifully illustrated, well laid out, made for easy reading and a “must have”, if you are considering getting a dog.

I wish I had your book as a reference book, when we got our first dog, a black lab; not a dog for a small suburban house with a family at work all day.

Your book explains in detail which breed would be a suitable pet and the best environment for that pet. Reading your book, “before we decided what dog to get”, would have saved us a lot of tears and sadness; it was not a pleasant experience having to give our dog away.

I will be using your book as a guide for our pet therapy class, with special need adults.

Thanks again Shannon.
