Trade Review
"This slim volume is beautifully written, and the prose flows like poetry. The market has been flooded with a plethora of popularly written books attempting to explain canines and why people love them, yet this book... raises the subject to a higher plane. A gem." -Library Journal "An appealing gift item, this slim volume will make lovers both of literature and canines sit up and take notice." -Publishers Weekly "Utterly charming and irresistibly quotable. Roger Grenier is a true man of letters." -Baltimore Sun"
