Reviews
Dog lovers will be charmed and amused by this little literary gem... What makes these poems so enjoyable and relatable is that they really do seem to express the feelings of our dogs: loving, resigned, stoic, even disgusting at times, in all ways like our four-legged (usually) best friends. --Book Reporter A clever book and quite a contagious read. Be warned, after reading the book, you won't be able to stop reciting dog haikus of your own! The photos accompanying the haikus are perfect. --Pet Companion Magazine The one book every dog lover should have at their fingertips for an instant smile. --The New Barker
