You will see lots of dog stories out there. While some of them are good and some are not, "10 Secrets My Dog Taught Me" is absolutely delightful.

This story of NYC editor Carlo DeVito and his dog, the often neurotic, sometimes reckless, always loveable Exley warmed my heart and touched me in way I couldn't have imagined. You'll scratch your head - and perhaps behind your ear - wondering who really is whose pet.

The author, Mr DeVito, has given "10 Secrets My Dog Taught Me" the added dimension of training tips and thoughtful insights, which are balanced with life lessons learned from our relationships dogs, and how to apply these lessons to that truly difficult and untamed animal, the human.

If you haven't bought "10 Secrets My Dog Taught Me" you're barking up the wrong tree.

As a dog lover, this book really hit the mark. It was short, entertaining, emotional, and provided life lessons (or reminders) to help each reader become a better person. I really enjoyed the story - I laughed and cried. A must read for dog lovers - particularly those strapped for time and tapped for patience.

This book will touch your heart. It made me laugh out loud and also cry. So many of the anecdotes in the book reminded me of my dogs and my experiences with them. This is a must read for dog lovers and rescuers.

The author's style and story-telling ability are terrific and the story is touching. Marley & Me was a good book but this is the tale that belongs on the NY Times best-seller list!

This book is okay I guess, but for some reason I just couldnt get into it. It wasnt like "Marley & Me" (which I loved. It lacked a little bit of emotion and it didnt seem like someone was just telling me their story about their dog, it just seemed like he was trying to teach me a lesson or lecture me.

This bookd was so enjoyable i coul hardly put it down. Being a dog lover it brought both laughs and tears. I recommed it for any kind of animal lover who can learn a lesson from a four legged person.

This book is so well written and a must read for any dog lover. It truly teaches you life lessons. I learned so much about my dog and myself as I read this book. Fantastic!!

It was love at first sight when the author first saw Spike, quickly renamed Exley. Like the author, readers won't be able to resist falling in love.
