July 11, 2008: This is the 'standard' by which all dissection guides should be judged. Does not get better then this book with regards to the subject matter

November 20, 2006: I am a first year student at the College of Veterinary Medicine at the Univerisity of Missouri-Columbia. This is the book that we use to guide our dissection of our dog. However, this book is full of mistakes, poor illustrations not showing key muscles, nerves, etc and uses circular logic to guide dissection. They will tell you to cut a muscle only later to tell you its location and function! For a book to have gone through so many editions, it is a poor guide.
