The Police Dog Book ProjectJim EngelSeveral years ago I gradually began organizing my commentary articles into a format and style compatible with a possible future book project. As time went on, gaps became obvious and more and more my writing focused on filling these with new work. Presented here are selected draft version portions of this book on police dog history, breeding and deployment. This is an ongoing effort and the ultimate format is not clear at this point. Initial formal publication will probably be in book reader format for the Kindle and similar readers. An eventual hard copy edition with extensive photographs may ultimately emerge, depending on how rapidly the electronic book reader advances technically, particularly in the quality of photo reproduction. Check back often, as new sections will from time to time appear for review. Your comments and particularly your corrections are always appreciated.
