Raising a dog can be a fun and joyful experience, but there are also the bad times when your dog misbehaves - pees on the floor or doesn't do what you ask. This is a big misconception of the dog not being trained well. If your dog is trained well, you and your dog will have a happy relationship. Dog training is not an overnight experience; it takes time and effort. Some dogs will respond faster to training, some slower.

One winter's afternoon, Stephen Foster walks into a dog re-homing center with the intention of picking up a retired greyhound. Instead, he acquires an abandoned lurcher pup. Foster's knowledge of dogs is so vague that he has to look up 'lurcher' in key reference work The Giant Book of the Dog, to find out what sort of animal is coming to join the family. His research counts for little: the new arrival does not conform to any known breed standard, or indeed any standard whatsoever that might be considered dog-normal.

Misleading Title
- By Ms Florrie on 16-11-13
Summary
When Ted Kerasote was ready for a new dog after losing his beloved Merle - who died too soon, as all our dogs do - he knew that he would want to give his puppy Pukka the longest life possible. But how to do that? So much has changed in the way we feed, vaccinate, train, and live with our dogs from even a decade ago.
In an adventure that echoes The Omnivore’s Dilemma with a canine spin, Kerasote tackles all those subjects, questioning our conventional wisdom and emerging with vital new information that will surprise even the most knowledgeable dog lovers. Can a pure bred be as healthy as a mixed breed? How many vaccines are too many? Should we rethink spaying and neutering? Is raw food really healthier than kibble, and should your dog be chewing more bones? Traveling the world and interviewing breeders, veterinarians, and leaders of the animal welfare movement, Kerasote pulls together the latest research to help us rethink the everyday choices we make forour companions. And as he did in Merle’s Door, Kerasote interweaves fascinating science with the charming stories of raising Pukka among his dog friends in their small Wyoming village.
Funny, revelatory, and full of the delights of falling in love with a dog, Pukka’s Promise will help redefine the potential of our animal partners.

One of my Favourite Books EVER!
What made the experience of listening to Pukka's Promise the most enjoyable?
The fact that it was a mix of fact and story. (Not fiction but the story of Pukka and Ted). I learned so much from this and the way Ted bonds with the dogs in his life is pretty darned amazing, amusing and heartwarming.
Who was your favorite character and why?
All of them.
Which scene was your favorite?
The scenes where Burley is stealing the balls from Pukka, AJ and Goo!
What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?
That the pet care industry doesn't always have your pets best intrest in mind!

A must listen for every dog lover.
If you love your dog and want to do the best by him or her, don't listen to your vet or big pet food marketing. Listen to this. Dogs need to run free, eat things close to their natural diet and take it easy on the medication in order to be healthy. Ted Kerasote presents this information with lots of understandable scientific evidence and keeps it entertaining with backup anecdotes of his life with his dogs, Merle and Pukka.

Awful Narrator
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I don't know - it is a great story but the narrator ruined it.... maybe as a book
What didn’t you like about Luke Daniels’s performance?
After listening to Merle''s Door this performance is horrendous... Luke Daniels makes the dogs sound like stupid children... instead of the wonderful character that the narrator of Merles Door gave them... it was so bad I had to stop listening and read the book instead
Was Pukka's Promise worth the listening time?
No -i didn't finish it - read the book instead - because it is a great story - just horrible horrible narrator

Good content, strange narration
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
The content of the book was interesting- factual data about canine health issues interspersed with snippets from Pukka's real-life experiences.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Pukka's Promise?
The story about how euthanized pets are rendered and used in pet food.
Did Luke Daniels do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
He did a good job differentiating them. Too good, I guess. It seemed so patronizing to hear him try to do different accents to indicate who was speaking. He also used a lot of "little baby" voices to indicate the dogs were speaking. It was distracting. I don't have a better suggestion, but the voices were a bit over-the-top for my taste.

Very informative book for all dog lovers
What made the experience of listening to Pukka's Promise the most enjoyable?
The author interwove the story of his second dog, Pukka, with his research about the health and well being of dogs. He mostly sticks to science to explain many things associated with living with and owning dogs.
What did you like best about this story?
I am a dog trainer. I've lived with dogs my whole life and I rely on my service dog to live in a world made for able bodied people. I do my best to stay up to date on the best ways to care for my dogs. This book opened my eyes to a few new things I can do to ensure my dogs live long and healthy lives.
Any additional comments?
If you are a dog professional, a dog lover, or just someone who wants to learn more about these animals we share our lives with, read this book. I promise you will learn something.

great information, bad sound editing
if you're concerned with your dogs health and not willing to accept "standard" veterinary practices then this is a book you need to read. luke Daniels performance was outstanding, but the sound editing was crap. when he uses a softer voice the volume drops so low you can't hear it so you're constantly having to rewind it and crank up the volume.
