I was afraid to order this book at first because I am such a huge animal lover and get very distressed when I hear stories about animals who have been abused or abandoned. I literally get nightmares when I read about animals who are suffering and I wasn't sure if this book would be more upsetting then pleasurable since I knew many of the dogs would have tragic tales before adoption. My experience with this book: got it today, sat down on the sofa with it and simply could not put it down. I read every story and even though many of them were tragic they really didn't dwell on the horrific past in a way that made me uncomfortable. I did cry but they were slow, blissful tears that often melted into the edges of an unforseen smile. These stories are some of the most uplifting, gorgeous stories I have ever read and the photos that accompany them are beautiful, often spontaneous portraits of owners embracing their saved animals. In every furry face you can see the joy and the gratitude and the extinguished pain. They are saved and they are home and it burns your eyes and warms your heart and leaves you shivering in goose pimples. I am SO glad I decided to order this book! It's a must have for anyone who loves dogs.

If you love dogs, I really think you will love this book.  Bruce Cameron has a way of describing a dog's movements that ring true and then getting inside their head to match those movements to thoughts they would have.  I love my own dog even more after reading this book!

I own five dogs and am always looking for new books on training and issues concerning dogs.  Jon Katz is one of the best authors on dogs I've read!  This book really inspired me!  I've read all his books (which are all very good), but this was excellent!  He's actually made me really want to work with my dogs so that we can all exist happily ever after.  I've also thought about emailing him just to let him know how much I value this book - and I've never felt that way about anyone before!  If you have dogs you can't go wrong with this book!!

I am so glad I purchased this book! We are getting our first boxer puppy and I have read a couple of books on dog behavior and training. But this book is wonderful because it is breed specific. I love all the information about the boxer personality. I will certainly keep this book on hand as it covers all topics from housebreaking and seperation anxiety to basic training and socialization, as well as how important it is for the boxer to be with the people she loves! I highly recommend this book for anyone who is planning on getting a boxer or already owns one. You can never learn too much about how to love and understand man's best friend!

Okay, I'll admit I'm a pushover for a dog book but this goes way beyond that point. I started this book as a "read in bed at night" book but found myself so engrossed in the stories about Search and Rescue dogs that I couldn't put it down. This is a must have for every dog lover or anyone else for that matter. Entertaining, exciting and enchanting.

I bought 4 copies of this book (3 were gifts to fellow dogtologists) before I read it. The author was writing about ME when he described in great detail how I feel, act and think about Dog. I've known for quite some time that God spelled backwards was Dog. I remind my cat-loving friends about that. But Jeff Lazarus explains that God created Dog to reflect all that is good in him. Truer words were never spoken. I have had dogs since 1974 and now I would never be without one (or two). Dog makes you laugh when you are sad, calms you when you are stressed, and no matter how angry you get at Dog, he will always love you unconditionally. . .  well except for the occasional demand for treats. I have 65 members in my Doglovers contact list which proves if you are a dogtologist, you will be drawn, and quite easily, to others of  the same ilk. Any question you may have had in the past about the relationship between you and your dog, will be answered in a humorous and thought-provoking way. A must read for you and all your dogloving friends. And it does make a great gift!

This is such a wonderful book.  You feel like you are right there with each and every one of the dogs. I could not put this book down.  This is a book that you will need to have a box of tissues next to you as you read it.  The love and compassion that the author has for these dogs is amazing.  I wish there was more people in the world like her.  I hope that there will be more books to follow this one.  Thank you for the wonderful work that you do!

This is a beautiful, well done book that any dog lover would enjoy.  You can't help but to smile when flipping through the pages!  This is a unique book filled with pictures of adorable four legged friends, cute dog related sayings, and areas to journal or make notes.  There are pages that can be removed and used as little note cards.  Not only is this a fun book, but it supports a great cause, Save Korean Dogs.  The majority of the dogs in this book were rescued from dog meat farms in South Korea, and are now living happy well loved lives.  This book would make a great gift for any dog lover!  The gift is two fold, the book itself and the donation that goes to an organization that is literally saving dogs from a life time of abuse and neglect.  I am looking forward to the next book in the series!

I thought for $12 it would be worthwhile to have... but this book exceeded my expectations. It is so well thought out, any person with a dog should have a copy. The how-to for each trick is written in clear and to the point language, and the visual aides are phenomenal. Each how-to includes difficulty level, quick tips to troubleshoot any problems teaching the trick, and also directions specific to the size of dog you have. It's a great way to bond with your dog, but remember all dogs will learn at different speeds so you must be patient and keep the lessons short. You may not teach your dog all of these, but there is something for everyone!

This charming book is a must have for dog lovers. As anyone with a dog knows, our four-legged friends are more than just pets, but family. I noticed, and this holds true for every picture in the book, that the compassion and devotion between dog and owner is beautifully captured. The variety of pictures is amazing and the antique quality offers viewers a blast from the past. I felt like I was looking through a family's photo album because the pictures all seemed so personal and unique. If I ever need a pick me up, I flip through this book and immediately feel a bit more cheery. This book came out in perfect time for the holidays. It will make the perfect gift!

This book will keep you smiling all the way through. The dogs look like they are from another world in some of the photos and there is nothing like it! The photographer Carli Davidson is amazing and awesome and she loves her work. She will only photograph animals who are enjoying themselves. If they get stressed, she won't take it any further. I know this from experience. My bulldog Jake did great for the photo shoot but when we went back for some promotional videos, the lights and additional people were just too scary for him and she and her bestie Amanda made sure to love on him and make him feel special even though he wasn't helping out with the video. (His sister Jazmine was a ham, however)
I highly recommend this book as a gift for any dog lover or anyone who is hard to buy for. It is a great size, the pages are high quality paper that would be very difficult to tear and there is page after page of adorable cuteness. To add icing to the cake, several of the dogs in this book are rescued!
