In my humble opinion, I'd burn the book.

I wonder if whoever wrote this book has ever met a great pyrenees!! Ha ha! I'm glad I have experienced people to set me straight!
I can tell everyone loves these dogs so much, I love the stories of how protective they are but still being gentle at the same time. I don't think I have ever met a dog quite like that.

When I had my Pyr she was a house dog. The puppy stage was a little rough. I got her at 6 months old I had her over a weekend. She seemed to be an angel, so I let her have the run of the house when I went to work on Monday. When I got home from work she had been busy making some of her own decorating alterations. She took down the drapes in the living room. I could imagine her playing tug of war with them. The curtain rods were popped off the walls. No dog in sight I walked to the back of the house the bathroom door was closed. She managed to close the door on herself. Then it was time to redecorate the bathroom. She took the shower curtains down and pulled the toilet paper roll off the wall and shredded the throw rug.  After she got older she was a great dog. I named her Tress because of her hair. She would always lay in front of a door that open in so no one could get in. She would also patrol the yard. As for eating she did not eat that much.  She was a great dog, I would recommend a pyr. She was a sweetheart

A point of reference for those of you who need correct input about Pyrs.  The reference bible for the Pyr owner is a book called The New Complete Great Pyrenees by Paul Strang, ISBN # 0-87605-188-3  It covers all aspects of the breed correctly and is great for reference.  Picture of the book is below for your reference and my bragging..lol

The book on the cover is the great uncle to my Beluga........ Ch VilleVieux Le Roi

Available at most larger bookstores or order online at amazon.com or barnes and nobel

This is a great book.  It was a big factor in me getting my first pyr, Rosie.  I still go back and read it from time to time.
