There is no other book on the market that approaches leadership by using the context of dogs as an explanatory canvas.

The reader will also learn a lot about several breeds of dogs, across the world, including breeds such as the Bulldog, Dachshund, German Shepherd, Mastiff and Otterhound, among others.

This book provides the reader with tips and insights on how they can become better leaders themselves.

These insights and tips will be explained by utilizing the context of dogs, with examples featuring various dog breeds used throughout the book.
