I hope it is okay to post a book review here. I just read Loving Edie, by Meredith May, which is a memoir about adopting a golden retriever puppy that turned out to be extremely fearful. It's not really a guide to living with a fearful dog – you should get that information here – but many of you will recognize the emotional stages that the author experienced. I nearly cried several times reading it. At the end, I felt like it helped validate my love for my fearful puppy, while recognizing the struggles we have experienced.
