Great Balls of Fur: Life with Newfoundlands and Other Critters [Paperback]

Nita Jager (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1992

Those who have ever loved an animal can easily identify with the tales in this book on the antics, joys and sorrows of raising and living with those great furry creatures, Newfoundlands. In this book, the author tells of her relationship with a puppy in one of her prize dog's litters. The puppy was the last dog she rationally would have kept. For some reason, the dog stole her heart. She also tells stories about Henrietta, the family cat who could soothe a fussy baby into deep sleep. A fun book to read -- and great reading to young children, especially those with pets.

This review is from: Great Balls of Fur: Life with Newfoundlands and Other Critters (Paperback)

This is a great book with wonderful stories about all kinds of animals and the special bonds between them and their people. My family and I are planning to get a Newf in the near future and this funny book with amusing stories about how these gentle dogs act has reinforced our desire to get this breed. This book made me laugh out loud on the bus, caused a tear to form at work (during lunch, of course) and reminded me of what life with a dog is like. If you love dogs of any kind, you'll be able to relate to this book.
