A loyal companion, a living link to history, and a marvel of nature's design - the dog has held a cherished place in human life for centuries. The Complete Book Of The Dog by Robert Leighton stands as an essential dog breeds guide and canine care manual, blending practical wisdom with a deep reverence for the bond between people and their canine companions. Leighton's work offers dog enthusiasts a rich tapestry of breed profiles, pet training handbook insights, and the evolution of dogs from their earliest roles to their place in early 20th century homes. This volume is more than a reference; it is a window into the world of historical dog breeds and the development of canine behaviour. Drawing on the expertise of figures like James Watson, Leighton explores the subtleties of breed characteristics, the art of training, and the responsibilities of pet ownership.

Whether you seek a pet owners resource, a canine evolution study, or simply a dog enthusiasts collection to treasure, this anthology is both informative and deeply engaging. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
Autorenporträt
Robert Leighton was a Scottish journalist, editor, and author known for his contributions to boys' fiction. Born on June 5, 1858, in Ayr, United Kingdom, he gained recognition for his work in juvenile magazines, particularly through his role as editor of Young Folks. His career in the magazine industry also led to his meeting his future wife, Marie Connor, a prominent author in her own right. Leighton became particularly well-regarded for his expertise on dogs and their care, producing several works dedicated to the subject. Over the years, his knowledge of animals expanded, and he wrote extensively on dog training and management. Leighton's legacy is also linked to his literary family, as he had two children, Roland and Clare Leighton. His son, Roland, became known for his own literary endeavors, although his life was tragically cut short during World War I. Robert Leighton passed away on May 11, 1934, at the age of 75 in Bishop's Stortford, United Kingdom. His work remains influential, especially in the genre of boys' fiction and animal care literature.
