96 pages of absolute cuteness on 4-legs. Anna's advice is 110% better than some I have recently heard from the two-legged species. If you like animals of any kind you will love spending a half hour with Anna. I believe her thoughts in the very last page is spot on. " How can you not worry about a species that won't always give a dog sofa privileges...that thinks tacos are only human food...that saves our poop in little plastic bags- to what possible purpose-...and that builds nuclear bombs? But you gotta love them. Love is the only thing that will save them." ( )

My rating is 5 stars.
People usually love animals. There are always those who want cats only or dogs only and occasionally you find a home with both. I grew up with dogs and now have a cat, who has adopted us. So when the book came up for review, I just knew I had to read it! I laughed a lot. Anna is like the canine equivalent of a Dear Abby, except for dogs.
The imagination it takes to have pictures of various dogs writing to Anna who is a golden retriever was brilliant! The problems these various canines have and some of Anna’s answers made me just laugh my head off! There was one where a dog wrote about what a cat was saying and Anna’s answer was just classic! Though the book is not very thick, I think a lot of folks will get a kick out of how Anna answers her readers as well as appreciate the pictures of the many different types of dogs included. Those where Anna is posed are precious.
I love dogs and I do like the cat that adopted us. What about you? Are you a lover of animals or prefer cats over dogs or the other way around? No matter your preference, laughter is good medicine and this book brings it out, especially if read aloud with friends or family.

Fun and sweet. I liked Trixie's books better, though - her syntax was funny. Koontz's pages at the end were a little strange...I think he was trying to sound silly, but it was just weird. The pictures were great...there need to be more hounds, though! ( )
