+Dog intro
+============
+
+Run *'dog'* without any argument to have an overview of the 
+sub-command and options.
+As you can see it's quite clear, there 3 main sub command:
+*'vdi', 'node', 'cluster'*.
+
+Commands and descriptions are pretty intuitive.
+We are going to analyze the most frequently used in this section, and all the
+others later.
+
+::
+

+E.g. to be reminded of the parameters needed to create a vdi, you may type:
+
+::
+
+    # dog vdi create --help
+    Usage: dog vdi create [-P] [-c copies] [-a address] [-p port] [-h] <vdiname> <size>
+    Options:
+    -P, --prealloc          preallocate all the data objects
+    -c, --copies            specify the data redundancy (number of copies)
+    -a, --address           specify the daemon address (default: localhost)
+    -p, --port              specify the daemon port
+    -h, --help              display this help and exit
+
+We remind you that square brackets means that the parameter is
+optional (you can omit it).
+Vice versa, within '< >', the parameter is mandatory.
+
+Finally, you may use **'man dog'** to have an overview of all the sub 
+commands and their parameters.
