How about pet dogs -- are they happy? Those questions sparked a quest to venture inside the dog-show world, in search of a deeper understanding of the relationship between dogs and humans that has endured for thousands of years. Dogland shares his surprising, entertaining, and moving adventures. Tomlinson spends three years on the road and goes behind the scenes at more than one hundred competitions across the country, from Midwestern fairgrounds to Madison Square Garden. Along the way he is licked, sniffed, and rubbed up against by dogs of nearly every size, shape, and breed. Like a real-life version of the classic mockumentary Best in Show, Dogland follows one champion show dog -- a Samoyed named Striker -- as well as his handler, Laura King, and his devoted entourage of breeders and owners as he competes in the 2022 Westminster Dog Show. Striker's whole career has been leading up to this moment. We also meet dog lovers who applaud every dog, regardless of breed, simply for being themselves, such as WeRateDogs, the social media phenomenon with millions of followers, all for posts celebrating the day-to-day goofiness in most dog owners lives."-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 1 $a Prologue -- A word on bitches -- How a dog show works -- Show quality -- The fancy -- Riding Betty White -- Conformation -- The trouble with Frenchies -- For your consideration -- They're all therapy dogs -- The heart-dog -- Somewhere in Michigan -- The magic trick -- Epilogue -- Acknowledgements -- Recommended reading. 650 10 $a PETS / Dogs / General 650 20 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Popular Culture $b Dog Show. 650 0 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Entertainment & Performing Arts 650 0 $a Westminster Kennel Club.
