Nice beginning for the series, Jack is a little snarky but his heart is in the right place. ( ) The main character, Jack Field, is a former NY city homicide detective who retired to become a dog trainer in Maine. Naturally he becomes involved when one of his dog-training clients is murdered. The plot is good, the characters are mostly good, although Jack definitely falls into the rather cliched maverick cop category. No matter who he's dealing with, or how reasonable they are, he has to make smart ass comments. At first my response, having seen this so often, is "it must be a guy thing. I don't understand." then I think to myself , "oh, yeah, and YOU"RE the one who keeps quoting "it is the duty of every citizen to be subversive" every chance you get, and how is this different?" But I do see a difference in questioning authority, trying to find the truth, and sharing it, with being snarky to everybody. The book is fascinating in its discussion of dog training. Jack espouses a type of dog training very much out of the mainstream these days. He disagrees that dogs are mostly organized by dominance, instead that packs cooperate to hunt. Playing with them in ways that stimulate their hunting instincts is the best way to keep them interested and trained, and by using happy tones of voice. The author even gives a bibliography in the back, and says that Natural Dog Training by Kevin Behan is the best dog training book ever. (Note: I haven't read that book myself). Good reading. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Meet Jack Field: Dog's Best Friend Ex-cop Jack Field abandoned New York to run a canine kennel in the rustic Maine woods. But murder and mayhem still seem to hound him wherever he goes ... Jack's a dog trainer and a behavioral specialist -- not to mention the "main squeeze" of smart and sexy, part-time medical examiner, Jamie Cutter. That's why he's standing in a secluded cabin by alike on an icy December evening, with Allison DeMarco lying dead on her kitchen floor, and her high-strung Airedale, Ginger, going ape in the corner. You can't teach an old dog -- or cop -- new tricks, so this homicide has Jack hooked ... especially since poor Ginger seems to be the only witness! In a world of misbehaving mutts and pesky purebreeds, a killer may be waiting to make Jack, Jamie, and their puppy-pals roll over and play dead. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
