Thoughts to live by.

I found this book at a very low point in my life. I picked this book up at my vet's office and read it while a procedure was being done on my very ill puppy. It lifted my spirits, and gave me some much needed hope. Both my puppy and I are doing much better!
You too can have a well behaved happy dog!

This book is an excellent introduction to the world of dogs and how they impact on our lives. As a pet therapy partner with my dog, Coco, I recommend this book to everyone who is involved with their pets and what to have some real insight into their animals' behavior and needs.
K-9 simplicity

A delightful pictorial of how dogs of all ages and breeds can teach us the basic and simple lessons in life. Each picture is accompanied by a telling phrase that gets the message across. The table of contents includes such subjects as Health, Self Esteem, and Day-to-Day living. In the end the author sums it up with a smiling golden lab with a lolling yet perfect pink tongue, below him is the inscription, "Life is, on the whole, pretty doggone good". That just about says it all.I found myself enjoying the pictures as well as the wisdom imparted. It is a book I am able to pick up again and again. My favorites being the chocolate lab puppies. This is a cute book for the dog lover in your family. Kelsana 12/05/01
An excellent gift for the dog lover friend or family member

This picture and saying book captures the heart and soul of all dogs everywhere, from the most carefree puppy to the most loyal senior canine citizen. It reminds us to not take life so seriously in our hectic world, and enjoy the basic and mundane of life, for that is where joy is truly found. It reminds us of the most common courtesies often forgotten in this man-eat-man world. All life's lessons can be learned from a dog, and they are in here, in some of the most poignant, beautiful, and joyful pictures I have yet seen of our beloved dogs. Worth it as a gift for yourself, your friends, your family.
A clever, smile-provoking look at life through canine eyes.

Read this book only around fellow animal lovers, as grouchy non-animal lovers may be disgusted by your "oohs" and "awwwws" and outright guffaws. The book is a series of photos with one-liners such as "Keep a cheerful outlook" and "Laptop dogs make better companions than laptop computers." The pictures alone are worth the money, but the combination of the photos and the sayings will make you laugh, think and feel everything from pride to joy. A wonderful little pick-me-up or a nice treat to leave on the coffee table for visitors. Animal-loving visitors, that is. :)
