Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

David Anderson lives in Minnesota with his wife Rebecca and their Teddy Bear puppy Buddy. An avid dog lover his whole life, David has translated that passion into his writing.

Growing up on a farm, David was exposed to all sorts of animals; raising Cattle, Sheep, Hogs, Horses, and Chickens, as well as caring for his families dogs and cats.

"Some of my favorite memories as a child involve running through the pasture with my dogs, and lazy summer days spent lying in the grass with all the animals" Anderson said. "As a young boy I really wanted to be a veterinarian, and while I eventually chose a different path, my passion for animals never wore off."

That passion for animals continued as he graduated from college and started to make his way into the world. Mr. Anderson launched LP Media, a company that is dedicated to promoting and educating the public about the joys of pet ownership. The company started small, but quickly grew and now helps over a million pet owners every month.

Anderson continues to write and search for ways to help other people who are contemplating the decision to become a pet owner.

"My work is never done" he said. "I love helping other people and providing great resources that they can use to help better their lives, and the lives of their pets. I plan on continuing to create great products that help pet owners for as long as I can!"

Listen before you buy a pug!

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2021

I just recently bought a pug for my 14 year old son and there was a lot I didn't know after I bought him until I listened to this book. I wished I had listened or knew more information before I bought our newest family member but he does bring joy to our lives. Mr. Pugsley is our light and laughter.

Good primer about pugs

Nice intro book about pugs but I was hoping for more in depth information about the breed. Worked well for a primer for ten year old daughter to read before getting her a pug puppy.

Ok book

Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2019

I was looking for instructions/ideas on how to train pugs, how often they eat, when and how much, etc. This is a very general book about pugs and VERY repetitive. The first part pushes giving treats to reward and the second part states not to give treats because of causing your pug to be overweight.
