Just about anyone who owns a dog or has been around the dog-show world has seen the quirky parody “Best in Show” (2000) and walked away roaring at the outrageous, neurotic and sometimes affectionate characters and scenarios. “Show Dog,” by Josh Dean (It Books, $24.99), while much more serious and gritty, ushers you behind the scenes while tracking the exploits of Jack, a challenging Australian shepherd, on his first year in all-breed competition.
