Many of us share our lives with dogs, but how much do we really know about our four-legged friends? 39 Ways To Not Kill Your Best Friend, by the author of Dogs With No Names, is a must-read for all dog lovers.

With more than twenty years of experience in veterinary medicine, Judith initially worked with zoo animals and is now treating companion domestic pets.
From her hospital in Bragg Creek she has initiated an internationally recognized contraceptive implant program in free roaming First Nations dogs.

Over 50,000 pounds of dog food has been donated to hungry dogs with no names since the program's conception.
