BONE APPETIT: GOURMET COOKING FOR YOUR DOG
By Suzan Anson
So your dog is as spoiled as Paris Hilton's? Then this is the book for you - and your dog. When Suzan Anson's whippet, Emily, became distressed and stopped eating, Susan tried everything - everything you can buy. Hard-liners told her to have self-discipline. "When Emily gets hungry enough, she'll eat..." Suzan was also warned about table scraps. "If you give Emily 'people food' she will become spoiled, and her digestion will be ruined." But Suzan was unwilling to watch Emily grow thinner and weaker...she decided to cook for her.
"Fully aware that she could become insatiable...one day I would experiment with zucchini and oyster sauce over kibble, the next, fried eggs, rice and chicken. Success! Emily eagerly awaited each day's new fare. She brighted up, gained weight, and exhibited her old doggie joie de vivre."
Bone Appetit, the result of Suzan's subsequent experience in canine cuisine, includes over 100 recipes that will soon be your best friend's tasty favorites.
