Good night, sweet Prince and Lady and Duke! Dogs spend between twelve and sixteen hours a day snoozing, and their devoted companions are only too happy to accommodate these tuckered pups with upholstered baskets, monogrammed pillows, even designated spots on the duvet in the master bedroom. Featuring the napping nests of a cross section of dozing canines, Where Sleeping Dogs Lie shows how our pooches are such creatures of comfort that they find cozy slumber spots in the most unexpected places. There are sneak peeks at beautiful dreamers catching some Zs on the beach, in the snow, and by the fire, as well as portraits of a wide range of New York personalities and their pups, including Law and Order star Sam Waterston, fabulous fashion designer Todd Oldham, and unsung heroes such as Seeing Eye and other service dogs. On the more practical side, William Berloni, the Humane Society's director of animal behavior (and Broadway's go-to trainer), discusses a dog's need for sleep and security. The book concludes with a useful resource guide for products that will provide your dog with top-flight shut-eye. Book jacket.

Scientific and Humane Issues in the Use of Random-Source Dogs and Cats in Research examines the value of random-source animals in biomedical research and the role of Class B dealers who acquire and resell live dogs and cats to research institutions. Findings include that, while some random-source dogs and cats may be necessary and desirable for National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded research, there is no clear need to obtain those animals from Class B dealers. Several options for random-source animal acquisition already exist and additional options are recommended, which would further ensure the welfare of these animals and foster a positive public image for NIH. While the scientific community has recognized and responded to concerns for humane treatment of animals in research, government oversight has thus far been unable to fully enforce the Animal Welfare Act in regard to Class B dealers of live animals. Although the animals acquired by Class B dealers are destined for research-and NIH research in particular-the standard of care while in the possession of some Class B dealers requires an inordinate amount of government enforcement and is not commensurate with the policies of most NIH-funded research laboratories. This dichotomy of standards reflects poorly on public perceptions of NIH and jeopardizes animal welfare. This book will be crucial for NIH and other groups using random-source animals in research, including veterinary schools and research facilities. Animal welfare advocates, policy makers, and concerned pet owners will also find this a vital and informative work for reconciling the needs of research with the welfare of animals.
