Dog Man: An Uncommon Life on a Faraway Mountain
Author: Martha Sherrill
Binding: Hardcover
Price: $10.16
How one man's consuming passion for dogs saved a legendary breed from extinction and led him to a difficult, more soulful way of life in the wilds of Japan's remote snow country
As Dog Man opens, Martha Sherrill brings us to a world that Americans know very little about-the snow country of Japan during World War II. In a mountain village, we meet Morie Sawataishi, a fierce individualist who has chosen to break the law by keeping an Akita dog hidden in a shed on his property.
During the war, the magnificent and intensely loyal Japanese hunting dogs are donated to help the war effort, eaten, or used to make fur vests for the military. By the time of the Japanese surrender in 1945, there are only sixteen Akitas left in the country. The survival of the breed becomes Morie's passion and life, almost a spiritual calling.
Devoted to the dogs, Morie

This book is only good if you are interested in breeding the Akita not as a pet.
| THE AKITA (Book of the Breed Series)
Author: Gerald Mitchell
Binding: Hardcover
Price: $16.14
This book presented with a 1 star review so I was a bit dubious about buying it, however, once I received it I was extremely glad I did. From a showing and breeding point of view, I would have to say that this is one of, if not the, best books of the Akita I have purchased so far. I highly recommend it.
