A few years ago when I got into poodles I discovered a cozy mystery series about a woman who solves mysteries and has poodles. That got me hooked on the cozy mystery field. Not only that it got me hooked on dog books.I did not know cozy mysteries even existed and the fact that they have dog cozy mysteries! That sent me over the top. They are so interesting and of course I never normally solve the mystery.aren’t just for entertainment they tend to have really good ideas about training, nutrition, medical, all sorts of information to help you care for your dog better.
The locations are really interesting, and they pretty much have one set in just about every part of the United States. They might even have some international ones but that’s not something I’m really interested in.most of them of course are murder mysteries but they’re not super scary and fax sometimes it’s kind of hilarious the way the people die. There’s everything from pet sitter solving mysteries to just simple pet owners, to breeders and of course people who show dogs. I’ve learned a lot about dog shows dog handling breeding, and all sorts of other aspects of having a dog. Most of the dogs are written from a very responsible point of you. They talk about giving dogs heartworm preventative keeping them groomed, breathing responsibly, and even encourage fostering and rescue.
Of course a good romance with a dog in it is the best. I love romances who have the main character have a dog. Or maybe even more than one dog. Usually there’s not as much practical dog knowledge in the romance genre but the dogs have a lot of personality are usually quite realistic and usually imperfect. Some of the romances have dogs with bad habits,are poorly trained but it makes for a good story and it’s very entertaining.
I have not read a whole lot of factual non-fiction books about dogs. Only for my canine specialist course but they have their place and can be very informative and important but I read for fun so I have not read as many of those. A lot of the well-known dog trainers have written books to help you train your dogs yourself and of course those are very good and can be very helpful to people.
I also love women’s fiction that has dogs in it. Those books again can be educational because they talk about abuse, trauma anxiety and the ways that dogs can help. It always impacts me the way a dog can help someone and also dogs are such good teachers and such good examples of love.Another way to appreciate the dogs in our lives.
