Foghorn Press/Avalon "Dog Lover's Companion" Travel/Outdoor
Series - various authors
    
First Aid
 Dog First Aid:
Emergency Care for the Outdoor Dog by Randy Acker, DVM,
Jim Fergus (Contributor), Christopher Smith (Illustrator) My personal
favorite among the dog first aid books. Pocket sized and geared for
traildogs
 Rescuing Rover : A First Aid and Disaster Guide for Dog Owners
by Sebastian E. Heath & Andrea O'Shea
Technique - Hiking
 A
Guide to Backpacking With Your Dog by Charlene LaBelle
One of the oldest of the Traildog books still at press.
 Hiking and Backpacking with Dogs [DOWNLOAD: ADOBE READER] by Richard Lerner, DVM This is the downloadable version of the
"Nuts'n'Bolts" book. A personal recommendation if you want a "just the facts,
m'am" treatment. Written by a traildog owning veterinarian. I like
it.
 Hiking With Dogs (FalconGuide) by Linda B.
Mullally
 Hiking With Your Dog by Gary Hoffman Written
by a former Traildog subscriber, so it has to be good, right?!
 Hiking With Your Dog (Nuts 'N' Bolts Guide) by
Richard Lerner, DVM A personal recommendation if you

veterinarian. I like it.
 On
the Trail With Your Canine Companion : Getting the Most of Hiking and Camping
With Your Dog by Cheryl S. Smith Well written book with
a lot of information
 Ruffing It: The
Complete Guide to Camping With Dogs by Mardi Richmond and Melanee Barash
Travel Narratives
Adventures with Blu by Tedd
Adamovich
 A Walk Across America by
Peter Jenkins (2001 Edition) One of my all time favorite Traildog books even
after 20 years. The latest edition is in larger type but apparently includes no
additional information.
Blind Courage Blind
Courage by Bill Irwin & David McCasland
Autobiographical story of Bill Irwin, the first blind man to thru-hike the
Appalachian Trail, and "Orient," the guide dog who led him. Inspirational
book. Bill even has his own website.
A Dog's Life: The Autobiography of Rusty the Ready River Dog by Forrest Altman, Star Square Press, 1200 Jack Pointer Road, Semora
NC 26343-9437. Not available through Amazon.com. The life of a 17-year old
paddledog. Not a shaggy-dog story. Life seen through the lens of a dog.
Definitely not "doggy talk."
 Stickeen by John Muir, Malcolm Margolin
(Afterword) & Carl Dennis Buell (Illustrator) I was completely unaware
of this book by one of America's great naturalists until I saw a note on it in
Backpacker magazine. A neat story.
 Travelers' Tales - A Dog's World by Christine
Hunsicker (Editor-Preface), Maria Goodavage (Introduction) Collection of
traveling dog stories as published by the "Traveler's Tales" travel narrative
series.
 Travels With Charley : In Search of America by
John Steinbeck One of the great "on the road" stories. Steinbeck traveled
America with "Charley," his Standard Poodle, in an RV during the early Sixties.
Both funny & poignant, it's a glimpse back to pre-Vietnam/pre-Watergate
America.
 Walking My Dog, Jane : From Valdez to Prudhoe Bay Along the
Trans-Alaska Pipeline (Emerging Writers in Creative Nonfiction) by Ned Rozell
War Dogs -- The

between World War I and the post-Vietnam period
