Dieses Hörbuch ist weder ein schlauer Ratgeber über moderne Hundeerziehung noch eine wissenschaftliche Abhandlung zum Thema artgerechte Haustierhaltung. Es soll vielmehr zu einer angenehm "hündischen" Familienunterhaltung beitragen. Daher ist es für alle Hundefreunde und Freizeit-Kynologen, oder solche, die es werden wollen, gedacht. Für alle Frauchen und Herrchen, die gern "hündisch" erlernen möchten, aber auch für alle, die bereits schon fleißig "hündisch" mitreden können. Es sei aber besonders all denjenigen wärmstens ans Herz gelegt, die sich gerade überlegen, einen vierbeinigen Freund anzuschaffen.
