I enjoyed this book. It is light reading. The bond with Nicky and his owner is strong. Very nice large color photos of Nicky on his romps in the swamp. A cute story for all animal lovers.
I Love the Book, the Dog, and the Photographer

This is a wonderful book full of things the children need to learn. In this day and age most children don't appreciate the enviornment and the animals that live in it. This book teaches that. This books teaches you to be kind to animals, yet respect them. I met Nicky and Half Pint (D. Ray Guillory) about a year ago and they have become some of my closet friends. They have taught me about the swamp and the animals that live in it. I am a 23 year old woman that will take this book and the experience with me for the rest of my life. I have bought this book for almost everyone I know. I have also brought many of my family and friends to the swamp to meet this famous dog and her best friend, Half Pint. They have been a wonderful new part of my life and I hope you can also be as lucky as I have been to read the book and take the adventure.
Why I love Nicky the swamp dog
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Nicky the Swamp dog is one of the best books I have read about a dog that does wonderful things. I do not like the review by the person from new York who says it has too many words as she or he is wrong. The book is the talk at my schooland many others in Louisiana but maybe the lady from New York just does not get it.Too bad, because it is GREAT!!!!!! Also many people from other places like California and Vermont love it too because I sent them one.
