Crazy Bitch: Living with Canine Compulsive Disorder

Meet Venus, a beautiful white mixed breed. Part Akbash, part Lab, part clown, part escape artist, part guard dog, part wild dog ... she had more personalities than Sybil, the most famous psychiatric patient in the world. Meet Zeus, the kind and gentle Alaskan Malamute who was the love of her life. Venus and Zeus loved hiking and skijoring in the mountains. They enjoyed swimming and boating together. They shared a life most dogs dream of – until everything changed.

With a diagnosis of canine compulsive disorder as her singular clue, Peggy Tibbetts embarked on an investigation into every detail of Venus’s life as it unraveled. What began as a case study of her dog’s mental disease led to a hard lesson in the golden rule of dog behaviorists. There are no bad dogs, only bad people. Crazy Bitch is a complex love story between two big dogs. Venus and Zeus will make you laugh while they break your heart.
