My Dog King by Ralph Krenz

Dogs are described as “man’s best friend.”  When they are well trained, dogs are not only great creatures to play or work with, but they can also be protectors or even saviors in times of danger.  And for centuries, dogs have proven to be valuable partners on hunting missions.  Marvel at these amazing animals as author Ralph Krenz gives you the fascinating picture book, My Dog King.

My Dog King tells the amazing story of the bond between the author and his dog.  It was a bond that was forged at an early age and tempered over time, so it cannot easily be broken.  Being part collie and part bulldog, a wonderful breed, makes King truly unique.  Not only was King a fast learner, he was also very good around children. 

The collie breed of dog goes back to Great Britain, where it was originally bred to be a shepherding dog of Scotland, which is how it got its name.  Historically, it is believed that collies were first brought to Scotland by the Romans. King certainly was no herder but sure loved to hunt and was particularly easy to work with.  He loved his freedom but also wanted to please.  He was, in fact, a very good dog as proven by the author.  Together, Krenz and King had an unbreakable friendship that lasted for many years and extended to the wild outdoors where they hunted with undeniable precision and showed their care for each other.

With its rich collection of stories and real-life photographs, My Dog King brings to readers the enjoyment of the outdoors, specific tips on training dogs, and even techniques on hunting.  Whether you’re a dog lover, dog trainer, hunter, or someone interested in dogs, this book will surely help you understand the nature of dogs and the outdoors in general.
