I had read Kerasote's  other two books he wrote about his dog Merle and then his book on getting his next dog Pukka. Both those books were very good. This book shows what a relationship you can have with a dog that is so enriching and wonderful. Also it helps to show how to take great care of your dog by his intense search for helping our dog pets to have a longer life. He writes about dog nutrition and care. A must read for dog lovers.

I have had 2 to 3 dogs with me as companions for more than 40 years. I was under the impression that I know a lot about dogs. This book has opened my eyes. Now I understand dogs behavior better after reading this book. Real life experiences narrated by Patricia McConnell makes us understand why we behave the way we do! A must have for any dog lover.

I purchased my first puppy about a year ago and wish I would have known about this book at that time. It really helps you understand your dog and the result is a stronger relationship between owner and dog. McConnell writes in an informative, easy to read and humorous style making her book an enjoyable read. I highly recommend this book whether or not you own a dog.

A must read for anyone who shares their life with a dog(s). We can all learn lessons from our canine companions if only we will take the time to listen to them.
Thank you Ted Kerasote!

So informative and every dog owner should read this book, and I was happy Dr. Jean Dodd's was mentioned as she is my Schnauzers Vet, couldn't picture anyone else looking after him. Love her, a true animal lover.

If you've every loved a dog, don't miss reading this book.  If you haven't loved a dog, read this book to find out what you've been missing; then rescue a dog and love it.  Pearson is an absolute artist with the written word, and he paints a perfect picture of that special relationship between man and dog.  I'm enthralled by his writing skills, and I've already downloaded two more of his books and put all the others on my Kindle Wish List.  I look forward to hours of entertaining reading ahead.

If you are owned by a dog (not the other way around) then this book is for you.  It will bring you even closer to your dog.  The author is insightful and senstitive to his dog Maui.  You find yourself even falling in love with Maui and falling in love all over again with your dog/dogs.  A must read and a great gift for the dog lovers in your family.

This is a MUST for every dog owner, and especially for owners of reactive/anxious dogs.

After studying this book I know what my dog is going to do (before he does a lot of the time) based on his body language and I know why he's doing it too.

It's helped me spot when my rather neurotic dog is becoming TOO overwhelmed and needs to be removed from a situation for his safety and for the safety of other dogs/people around him.

A must read for anyone who has a dog as a best friend. No dry eyes when you are done. But great in the end.

This is a fantastic book whether you're a dog lover or an owner of an APBT like myself. Wonderful, intelligent, loyal and loving pets. This book does a great job summing all of that up. Definitely should be required reading for the people who label the breed without actually knowing anything about them except for what the media tells them.

This is a great story about dog owners dedicated to supporting their loving pet through a very difficult time. Lots of love and valuable information if you have pets and want only the best for them.
