Dogland : passion, glory, and lots of slobber at the Westminster Dog Show / Tommy Tomlinson. by Tomlinson, Tommy, author. New York : Avid Reader Press, 2024. Subjects Westminster Kennel Club.

ISBN:  9781982149321 (hardcover) : 1982149329 (hardcover) : Description:  xxii, 230 pages ; 22 cm Edition:  First Avid Reader Press hardcover edition. Requests:  18 Summary:  "Tomlinson spends three years on the road and goes behind the scenes at more than one hundred competitions across the country, from Midwestern fairgrounds to Madison Square Garden. Along the way he is licked, sniffed, and rubbed up against by dogs of nearly every size, shape, and breed. Like a real-life version of the classic mockumentary Best in Show, Dogland follows one champion show dog--a Samoyed named Striker--as well as his handler, Laura King, and his devoted entourage of breeders and owners as he competes in the 2022 Westminster Dog Show. Striker's whole career has been leading up to this moment. As Tomlinson writes, picking a top show dog is like drafting an NFL quarterback when they're still in elementary school. Now Striker has made it to the Super Bowl. Tomlinson takes readers on the long road to glory, bringing the dog-show circuit to life as he witnesses teams scrambling from town to town in search of championship points and large, colorful ribbons. (Striker and his crew travel in a custom-built RV named after Betty White. Tomlinson's limitless curiosity about people and dogs reaches far beyond the show tents and into the ordinary lives of dogs. We hear from experts who have discovered new insights into how dogs and humans formed their bond--and how that bond has changed over the centuries. We discover the fascinating origins of different dog breeds, learn about the elaborate breed standards that determine an ideal show dog, and consider the health issues that can arise in purebred dogs. We also meet dog lovers who applaud every dog, regardless of breed, simply for being themselves, such as WeRateDogs, the social media phenomenon with millions of followers, all for posts celebrating the day-to-day goofiness in most dog owners lives.'-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 636.70811 To Item being held   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 636.70811 Tomlinson Checked out 07/05/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kahului Public Library Adult Nonfiction 636.70811 To Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books 636.70811 To Checked out 07/07/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kaneohe Public Library Pop-Up Adult Nonfiction 636.70811 To Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 636.70811 To Checked out 07/01/2024 Add Copy to MyList
