Summary:
"From Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of The Elephant in the Room comes the first inside account of the Westminster Dog Show--America's oldest and most beloved dog show--following one dog on his quest to become a champion"-- Provided by publisher.
"Tommy Tomlinson was watching a dog show on television a few years ago when he had a sudden thought: Are those dogs happy? How about pet dogs--are they happy? Those questions sparked a quest to venture inside the dog-show world, in search of a deeper understanding of the relationship between dogs and humans that has endured for thousands of years. Dogland shares his surprising, entertaining, and moving adventures."-- Provided by publisher.
