Dog Lover's MUST READ
583780
I saw this book in an ad on Facebook.  I clicked on it and immediately purchased it.  Within 3 days it was in my hands...and within 3 days it was passed along to my other friends who have dogs.  This is a must read if you have ever owned a dog, currently own a dog, or want to own a dog.  This book was written on such a great level, that is made me look at my dog and wonder if she is really thinking these things.  I cried...I laughed...I shared parts of the book with my dog.  Please read...it's touching, it's moving, it's brilliant, it's a MUST READ

If you love dogs, read this book. I really wasn't sure what kind of book it would be. From the title it could be an educational book. But of course it's not. It's the story of a single dog which is reincarnated several times over the course of the book. Each time he dies, he immediately comes back as a new pup in a new litter, new breed, and new circumstances - but still has memories of his past lives and owners. The book has been made into a movie (which is on my Netflix list - can't wait to see it).  But being a loving dog owner myself, it really does an excellent job of explaining, from a dog's point of view, a "dog's purpose."  It's both funny and sad - you will laugh and cry, but in the end you have had a most enjoyable reading experience. My dog is very special to me - he's my best buddy and we spend a lot of time together. He's never angry with me, always happy to see me, and wants to be with me as much as possible. Where else in this world can you get unconditional love? For all dog lovers, and even some who don't know yet they are dog lovers, read this book.

This is a great book for dog lovers but I also think it is one for those thinking about getting a dog.  It describes how much emotion we animal lovers go through from hole digging, shoe chewing and then when pets get ill and need expensive life saving medical care.  While I may have disagreed with the way The Grogan's made decisions about Marley, in the end it was well worth the read for anyone who loves a well written story with heart.

This is a must read for everyone who loves dogs!  There are so many parts of this book that still moves me to tears just thinking about the cruelty, suffering and the ultimate triumph of these dogs.  Buy a copy for yourself and copies for gifts: the truth about the dogs, the dog fighters, corrupt officials and Michael Vick need to be known.

A Dog Year: Twelve Months, Four Dogs, and Me is a must read.  This book introduced me to Mr. Katz's writing.  He has become my favorite author and I am now on his 3rd book that is also about dogs.  His understanding and discovery of dogs are so true and pure and most dog owners would probably be able to relate and smile and cry as they read his story.  I absolutely love this book.

Whether you love dogs or are a human interest person, this is a wonderful book. I've had this on my Kindle for some time and finally it was time to read the book. The writing is superb, humorous, thoughtful and profound all wrapped up in this nice book.  I laughed at the antics of the guys as well as the dogs in the book. I appreciated the food stories as our own little dog often rejected food and had problems. When we lost our little love dog last Spring, I just couldn't bring myself to read this book. Now I don't know why! It is a book about life with a dog in the house and yet it is a healing story that all dog lovers go through. We remember them always and I, for one, know there must be a doggie heaven because they sure bring lots of pleasure to us here on earth. I highly recommend this book and hope you love it as much as I did.

This is a very moving book. Jon Katz tells his story as only one can who truly understands the soul of a dog and the relationship between human and animal. The life-changing experiences Jon has with these animals will make you laugh, cry, and laugh again. I found myself falling in love with the labradors and border collies as if they were my own. This is a must-read for anyone who has ever experienced both healing and reward from a beloved pet. Animals seem to adore him - in my opinion, this man is a true "dog whisperer".

All dog lovers will adore this read, it is funny, quick, and tender.  Knowing Linda, I can only say, I hear her voice throughout the book. It speaks to the deep love we have with our four legged friends even when they are naughty! I, too, probably have more of a connection with my dogs, than I do with most people~

A great read for anyone who has ever loved a dog. I love everything written by Catherine Ryan Hyde, she captures the essence of the characters in both the background and conversations between them. Hard to put the book down. Would highly recommend this book.

I loved this book. As the owner of several working dogs I was recommended this book. It takes you through every emotion and has become one of my favorite books and I have searched high and low for hard copies to give to friends as gifts.
