I am a friend of Jon's; we worked together at the Philadelphia Inquirer in the '70s. That said, I think I am still an objective critic of his work.
Every dog-lover friend of mine adores Katz and is no-nonsense approach to finding an appropriate dog for your own needs and how to deal with that dog after that. He resists pandering to people who want to make dogs out to be what they are not. But he truly loves all of his dogs and their needs to be just dogs.
One of the saddest obligations of owning pets is that we are sometimes presented with making a life and death decision for them. I have found his advice in all areas of owning and raising dogs to always be positive and helpful.
And you don't have to own a dog -- or even want to own a dog -- to enjoy the tales he spins about his interactions with his dogs and his other farm animals.
