Does this book say why one would need a humidifier?

I really should look at the book first before I answer, but what I remember is that it has to do with lack of moisture in the air, from heating or air conditioning. I do notice that Razz gets more static in the winter months when our heat is on. Actually all our dogs do. Don't notice it so much in summer time, but then we rarely have the A/C on.

I thought leather ear comes from ears that aren't properly dried out. I know I spend a good bit of time making sure Razz's ears are dried and cleaned every time I wash him. But he is easy as his ears stand up, you don't want to know what I have to do for my drop eared BRT;s to get and keep ear health.
