BROOKFIELD — A Brookfield resident’s dog won Best in Breed at the Westminster Dog Show in New York City Tuesday morning.

But the good news is that dog owners can handle much of the care for their beloved pets themselves by turning to the expertise of Billy Rafferty, a pedigreed dog care guru who has cared for and groomed thousands of dogs, including Oprah’s and Chef Art Smith’s, over the past twenty-five years. In his new book, Happy Dog Caring for Your Dog’s Body, Mind and Spirit, which he wrote with animal advocate and dog lover Jill Cahr, Billy teaches readers how care for their pooches in a fashion that won’t break the bank. Dogs can’t take care of themselves, so we want to teach people to how to improve the quality and quantity of a dog’s life and enhance the lives of the dog owners as well. Making your dog happy requires you to understand what your dog feels physically (body) and what he thinks (mind). In HAPPY DOG, we include a yearly dog care calendar and planner, which covers all aspects of dog care.
