Emily Yoffe

This mostly met my needs for a good hearted, but not sappy animal story and the fact that it was set up as many chapters that served as short stories meant I could put it down and come back to it or just read on thru. Great for the busy Holiday times. I laughed and was saddened by the characters. By the time I read it the book was 18 years old and still maintained its character and humor.

woman who had no dog experience, since a bad experience in her youth, takes on a Beagle. Good, funny stories about living with a dog

Excellent!

The book includes a variety of touching, funny, and sad stories about pets from a variety of different owners. The book literally made me "laugh out loud" on numerous occasions. As the owner of a 4 month old black lab puppy, I found it both comforting and reassuring to read about other pet owners that struggled to house break and train their pets.

I would definitely recommend this book to others-- especially to pet owners!
