As every dog owner knows, man's best friend is a complex bundle of appetites, instincts and winsome wiles. Few first-time owners will realise, however, quite what they are taking on. But Thelwell's comic compendium will explain everything you need to know and provide a new leash of life.
An hilarious canine compendium, essential for new and experienced dog owners alike. As all dog owners know, man's best friend is a complex bundle of appetites, instincts, and winsome wiles. Few first-time owners will realize, however, just what a responsibility they are taking on. So Norman Thelwell kindly provided them with this invaluable handbook full of advice on choosing, training, feeding, exercising, and caring for our four-legged friends. It also emphasizes the importance of protecting one's own interests – not to mention those of one's neighbours – for an ill-trained hound will soon develop a healthy disrespect for law and order. Here is a superb cartoon collection designed to give every dog owner a new leash of life in the canine world. From the business of choosing a puppy and the troubles of training to the foibles of different breeds, TOP DOG is an indispensable companion for all fans of man's best friend.

Norman Thelwell (1923–2004) sold his first drawing to Punch in 1950, and two years later became an important regular contributor. His books include ANGELS ON HORSEBACK, PONY CAVALCADE, PONY PANORAMA, TOP DOG, MAGNIFICAT and THE CAT'S PYJAMAS. Thelwell was born in Birkenhead. War service involved foot-slogging with the East Yorkshires and art editing an army magazine in India. He studied art at Liverpool, taught it for seven years in Wolverhampton then became a full-time cartoonist and a household name soon afterwards. For many years he lived with his wife and children in a Hampshire cottage within fly-casting distance of the River Test.
