Yes, I Believe What the Dog Says: Quotes from a Dogman

"Yes. I Believe What the Dog Says." draws on its predecessor "My Years with a Dogman". This book is a collection of provocative, inspirational, and at times humorous quotes taken from letters and conversations between Mike “the Dogman” McConnery and his German mentor – Guenther. Before arriving in Canada after WWII, Guenther had been responsible for the breeding, keeping and training of elite war dogs and was the only Dogman granted access to Hitler’s personal dogs and to Hitler himself. During their time together Guenther shared with Mike ancient wisdom about life, man, and the German Sherpherd's Dog, which continues to resonate powerfully today. Guenther believed that the dog not only mirrors the soul of his handler but is an excellent judge of the character of others. In his words: I have learned to trust my dogs' opinion of my fellow man more than my own opinion. They look past the trappings of life deep into the inner being. They see those things which a smile or pretty face might hide. They see those things which tattered clothes may conceal. Yes. I believe what the dog says. This quote was the inspiration for this book.
