This text is intended to provide the reader with the essentials of dog
anatomy and has been produced for people who enjoy dogs and wish to know
a little more about their overall structure. Consequently dog owners,
breeders, exhibitors, judges - anyone requiring information about the
anatomy of the dog - should find the book useful. It should also be of
interest to students beginning a course in veterinary anatomy. The
emphasis throughout the book is placed on those points of anatomy that
can be seen or felt from the surface through the skin. Surface views
therefore form an important component of many of the drawings. A number
of other drawings specifically relate internal anatomy to the surface of
the body. Therefore the position and relationships of various internal
components of the vascular, digestive, respiratory and urogenital
systems are shown in surface projections.
