The Puppy Diaries: The Puppy Diaries: The Puppy Diaries: An instructive and marvelously entertaining chronicle of a puppy’s first year, by the executive editor of The New York Times. One sparkling summer day, Jill Abramson brought home a nine-week-old golden retriever named Scout. Over the following year, as she and her husband raised their adorable new puppy, Abramson wrote a hugely popular column for The New York Times’ website about the joys and challenges of teaching this rambunctious addition to their family. Now Abramson has gone far beyond the material in her column and written a detailed and deeply personal account of Scout’s first year. Along the way, she weighs in on such issues as breeders or shelters, adoption or rescue, raw diet or vegan, pack-leader gurus like Cesar Millan or positive-reinforcement advocates like Karen Pryor. With utterly winning stories and a wealth of practical information, The Puppy Diaries provides an essential road map for navigating the first year of your dog’s life. This book may have a small Remainder Mark. EAN: 9780805093421
