For most of us, pain, babies, and puppies are similar in the sense that we forget what they are really like after a while. Oh we have clear memories of them but not of the actual feeling. While we remember not to touch a hot stove again, we forget the actual sensation of being burned. And that's probably all for the best. If we had a clear and graphic memory of the experience, how often would we volunteer again? It had obviously been a while since we had a puppy because we were talking about getting another one. Guinness: An Otterhound Odyssey is the story of our search, selection, life with, and training by a new puppy. If you have raised a puppy it will certainly bring back memories. If you are thinking about adding a puppy to your life, it may help you do it with your eyes wide-open. If you are looking for pointers on puppy training and obedience, it will provide food for thought. And if you love dogs, it will provide an opportunity to share the laughter, joy, and tears that our new four-legged friend has brought into our life.
