Books
There aren't many books on backpacking with your dog.
My favorite is one that was written by Newfoundland owners, Alan &
JoAnn Riley in 1979. It's called "Taking
Your Dog Backpacking",
published by T.F.H. Publications. It may still be available by writing:
168-D Thompson Hill Rd, Aliquippa, PA 15001.
