Dog's Best Friend
McFarland & Co Inc (Verlag)
978-0-7864-7120-1 (ISBN)
A prolific dog show judge and breeder and expert on dog law in America, Judy had a vision that dogs would serve humans in ways most had not imagined. He championed their use in military and police work, and in their value as assistance and therapy dogs. In 1928, he launched the National Dog Week Movement, to honor man's best friend in a collective and thoughtful manner. Today, that movement continues, a testament to the legacy of this inspiring and gifted dog-enthusiast.
Lisa Begin-Kruysman is an established dog-blogger and administrator for the official National Dog Week Facebook Page. She lives in Ocean County, New Jersey.
