Far Out isn't Far Enough: Tales from the Back of Beyond by Tomi Ungerer. Received this as a birthday gift a few weeks ago. It's the author's reflections over a year of going "back to the land" in Nova Scotia. They get a Newfoundland dog. Beautiful watercolour sketches. It's an art book as well. And if you order your dog books through the NCA website, it benefits rescue. http://www.newfbooks.org/
