Mishka - A Dog's Life

The true story of a Belgian Shepherd Tervueren's coming of age.

For three years we follow Mishka - the "enchanted puppy" that has the talent to turn every dog into a friend, and who grows up to become a fearless alpha male looking to set his position in dog society.

Through drama, but also with humor, we get to experience Mishka's battles, friendships, his hunts and his first love.

In a fascinating study of dog behavior, this book depicts the full evolution of a young dog - from the heart-wrenching separation from his family at 8 weeks old, his search for a new "pack" and learning to bond with humans, to his many gained and a few lost friendships as he grows up to be an impressive Berber lion of a dog.

A book for all dog-lovers, that will make you appreciate the individuality of each dog's unique soul and personality.

It is also a small contribution to the field of ethology - a one-case study of animal behavior.

Featuring 48 original color illustrations in watercolor style by the author, depicting many of the scenes described in the book, plus several photographs.
