Written in collaboration with Ann Honeycutt McKelway, ex-wife of the New Yorker's Editor St. Clair McKelway, the book takes a crack at almost every other amateur theory and legend about dogs, their likes & dislikes, habits and diseases.

Some sound advice for city dog-owners: never buy a grown dog; never put a puppy on the street...

It was a statute, incorporated by Congress in the Island's first Organic Act (dating from the trust-fearing days of 1900) and reincorporated in the present Organic Act (1917), limiting the amount of land any corporation could own for agricultural purposes to 500 acres. Crusty Mr. Ickes well knew that few of Puerto Rico's sugar companies own less than 500 acres. He demanded that island...
