Dogs 'R' Us: A Look at the Signs of America’s Rising Dog Population

You don't have to look very far to see the signs of America's growing dog population. Just turn on the TV or go to your local coffee shop. Dogs are everywhere. The impact of this trend is not entirely positive, nor is it entirely negative. Arguments can be made on both sides...but when does one man’s choice to let his dog bark all night begin to impinge upon another man’s right to sleep? A rise in dog ownership, a shifting culture and growing dog economy are all factors feeding a new debate on how dogs fit into our communities and our lives. --- This book takes a look at the numbers behind the trends in dog ownership and posits some ideas to help us frame the discussion on what the growing dog population might mean for us and what it might already be doing to us.
