REVIEWS
I love this book!
I’ve been looking for a book about taking care of “Bantay” in Filipino setting/culture……. Very informative, very helpful and straight to the point. It’s one
book I always recommend to my Filipinofriends who have dogs at home or are
planning to have one.

The canine world is a much diversified subject. In terms of business, it Is a multi•million industry. In the field of training, it Is a never ending learning process. But whether you are looking at it from the point of view of a trainer, groomer, breeder, or plain dog lover, there’s no better way to enjoy and understand our canine companion than learning from those who’ve “been there, done that.”
For the new dog owner, every bit of information helps. Thanks to people like Onayd Lumbao who took the time to write their valuable experience and research for the benefit of the next generation.

ence with canine ethology. Provides a better understanding of why pooches
are the way they are. A must-have for all dog lovers!

I have spent 32 years of my life as a government veterinarian. In all those years, I had experienced In my small animal practice, read in some literatures and shared stories with my colleagues in the profession as well as my clients’ wonderful stories about dogs. However, after reading this book, I was amazed because I still learned a lot. Many experiences came along these years, but with the book many things which are commonly asked for, which I have to admit I have to answer indirectly or have to change the topic for I don’t know exactly the answers, the book Nananagi nip Ba Ang Aso gave me the enlightenment.”
This book is a must read by all dog and pet lovers, fresh graduates of animal science and veterinarians, as well as parents who are giving their children a chance to own a dog. To some extent, this book will give the answers to questions which we may not find elsewhere:’

A must-read for Pinoy dog owners, and even for people still contemplating upon adopting a dog. It covers the basics, from what to first do when you bring home a new puppy, to what kind of quality food to give your beloved Bantay, to how much time should be spent exercising your pet. But it goes further than that, explaining common dog owner’s complaints like digging, howling, furniture chewing, and leg humping. Mr. Lumbao places great emphasis on the owner’s responsibility and commitment throughout a dog’s lifetime, a welcome sentiment in a society where abandonment of aged dogs still comes as no surprise. This book is not simply a how-to manual, but a beautiful explanation in Pinoy layman’s terms on building a relationship based on positivity, trust and understanding
