John ZeamanCritiques

This is the first time I have reviwed a book on this site,
however, I was inspired to do so because this book is wise
and delightful. The language is evocative and inspired. While
I do not own a dog, it is obvious that the writer knows and
understands his dog all too well . There are some wonderful
descriptions, for example: "I have a cousin, an engineer, who
was always trying to keep his golden retrievers from shedding
in the car. Once, for a long trip to Vermont, he put pantyhose
on them to protect his upholstery. He used two pairs for each.
They looked like sock monkeys." One would have thought that
subject matter of this book could not maintain your interest
but it does, because of the quality of the writing.
