Though a warrior may be called a dog, what is foremost is for him to win -- so begins the code of the Samurai Bulldog. Doggedly loyal to his Master, the Samurai Bulldog s one-pointed concentration combines with jaws of steel & 4-paw drive to make him a force to be reckoned with. Practicing the ancient Way of Bulldog-do, he s a master of the military arts & a canny leader who has perfected the 10 Strategies & the Secret Schemes of the Ninja Bulldog. But he s accomplished in the arts of peace as well, From Zen ( What is the bark of no-bark? Woof! ) to literature (The Book of 5 Bowls). Illustrated with delightful ink drawings, Samurai Bulldog will appeal to all top dogs, as well as their retainers.

Includes an illustrated modeler's album with layouts and plans. 289 pages with index.
