Poodle-owner Favre (Detroit School of Law, Michigan State U.) and animal behaviorist Borchelt canvass animal legal issues primarily for lawyers but also for other interested parties. Focusing mainly on cases from 1960 to the present, they discuss: classifying animals as wild or domestic, animal ownership rights, the development of anti-cruelty laws, harm caused by animals (and why canids bite), state and local regulation, veterinarian malpractice, and issues in the investigation and evaluation of serious dog attacks. Includes a table of cases cited. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
