What better gift to give along with that new puppy? "Cup of Comfort for Dog Lovers" is busting with stories of puppy love, canine teen love, even love for those old dogs who can't seem to learn new tricks! Naturally, I read "The Cost of A Dog" first (okay, yes, I wrote it) but then I read every other story and enjoyed them just as much. For the new dog owner, or the dog lover forever, this is a book to read and enjoy over and over again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Celebrating Our Best Friends, September 2, 2007

If you have ever shared your life with a dog, you'll find yourself in this book more than once. These essays about the love, understanding and sometimes guidance (like "The Human Whisperer") dogs brings us will make you smile, tear-up, or just want to hug your furry friend. This book is a great read, and the perfect gift for dog people.

Granted, one of the stories in the book is mine, "My Black & White Wonder", but the entire collection makes me want to run out and fill my house up with dogs. Alas, I won't, but my heart is certainly full every time I read another of the stories in the book. This book is certainly a gift book, and something for the nightstand next to every fur-covered (and crowded!) bed.
