I was going through some tough times when I found this book...facing the inevitable loss of my dog through cancer. I sat down on a stool in the bookstore and read it - cover to cover - with tears streaming down my face. Then I bought the book and took it home with me. In the following months (and years), I can't imagine the number of times I've read this book...or just sat and looked at the photos.

My dog died a few months after I found the book, but it was an unbelievable comfort to have it sitting on my table...to pick up and read when the mood struck...knowing there were other women out there that loved their dogs as much as I did mine.

That was years ago. It isn't a big book, but the photos and words speak volumes and volumes to those of us that love our animals, whether we are facing their loss, have already lost them, or are living happily with them, day-to-day.

Louise Barbara and Taylor Cohen? If you are listening, I want to thank you for publishing this book! I can honestly say your little book is one of my most cherished possessions.

a book sure to be treasured and read many times over for all women whose faithful companions have added a depth of love like no other could ever be capable of...surely our creator had a mission to fulfill when our wonderful companions came to us. he knew women needed them more than they would ever need us but in unison a bond like no other could ever be duplicated by any human being..a keepsake and a gift that will be treasured forever.

This is a book that could be read all over the world, and be loved. (In fact, an international version would be a nice idea.) Any of us who have had or known a special dog find ourselves in this book. My dog Dilly writes her own page every day. You must read about these common and uncommon women and their extraordinary dogs!

A wonderful book! I bought this book when seeking solace following the death of my first dog companion. It gave me comfort and hope to see that there were many more special dogs out there, (and I have since adopeted another one!).

A dear friend had let me borrow her copy. After reading it, I had to get a copy. This book will warm your heart and the images are just wonderful. It's great to know others feel the same way as I when it comes to their dogs. Dogs share such a wonderful unconditional love and these stories are just one example. Get it for the dog lover in your life.

This is an older book but I bought it when it first came out and I lent it out and never got it back so I was so happy to find it on Amazon.And at a great price too!
Its a must for all women who love their dogs! Laughs and tears in this wonderful book.I cannot tell you how many times I have read this book and I will NEVER lend this one out again!!!!

I bought this book on a bargain table years ago. I brought it home and immediately had the pleasure of feeling the fabulous company of canines and the instant comraderie that comes with talking with other "dog people". I have had dogs all of my adult life....bloodhounds, can you believe it?...and I love talking to other dog people. This book is full of the sweetest stories of women and how dogs have moved into their hearts and made a much better life for them both. Since first purchasing it, I have ordered at least a dozen copies to give away to friends. And, they're always a HIT! I would recommend it to anyone.

The book is wonderful and, except for a razor-thin slice across the front cover, it arrived in pristine condition. That's the happy part. The sad part is that the book had a price sticker on it of $3.99, indicating it had been part of a clearance sale, whereas the price I was charged was $21.95! I feel I was gouged by this markup. I didn't mind paying the $21.95, as this was a gift for my wife, but I think the markup was outrageous.

I loved this book. The short little stories about the bonds between dogs and women touched me on a very deep level. I loaned my copy to a friend who lost it, and couldn't wait to replace it.

I was given this book as a gift several years ago. Since then I have bought many copies because I lend them out and I never see them again. "Dogs and Their Women" is a heartfelt compilation of narratives written by women about a special dog in their lives. Some are funny and some as you would imagine connect you with feelings of sadness for the dogs no longer with us. All of the stories make you glad to be a dog loving female. Women have always connected with dogs and other innocent beings so why not celebrate that and not let men steal our thunder!
