Every Dog Should Own A Man
Author: Corey Ford
First Edition: 1952
For example, I happen to belong to an English Setter who acquired me when he was about six months old and has been training me quite successfully ever since. He has taught me to shake hands with him and fetch his ball. I’ve learned not to tug at the leash when he takes me for a walk. I am completely housebroken and I make him a devoted companion.
