4.0 out of 5 stars Living with Brittanys: A Survival Guide, February 20, 2001

Since I had the honor of meeting these three dogs, the descriptions of their lives with the two owners meant more to me than the average person; however I will attempt to be unbiased. This account will certainly give one the idea of what different personalities dogs have within the breed which can affect your choice of a dog that must suit your lifestyle and surroundings. Through semantic skill and vivid descriptions of the terrain, the reader will sense Bill's affection for the environment, the need to respect it, and our responsibility to take care of it. Most importantly the reader will learn the pitfalls, the pleasures, and the humor of owning a Brittany.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fine Memoir, March 2, 2003

By 

Claire Copp (Sausalito, CA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Living with Brittanys: A Survival Guide (Paperback)

This book confirmed what I remember about Brittanys from childhood; they are mishievous, physically challenging, and personable. I especially enjoyed reading about the effect that the distinct personalities of three Brittanys had on the owners. The special attention that these two people gave to their dogs and the pain that they experienced when the first two died is particularly poignant. Humorous and in some cases hilarious incidents punctuate this fine memoir. I also found the description of beautiful wilderness areas compelling. This is an uplighting and inspirational book for troubled times.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Warm and touching journey, March 4, 2003

By

This review is from: Living with Brittanys: A Survival Guide (Paperback)

Mr.Buchanan made me laugh uncontrollably and cry as deeply. I read this book in one sitting and was so moved I proceeded to purchase several for friends. Anyone who has ever loved a pet - of any kind - will never forget this book. The author writes with acute sensitivity and extraordinary humor. One will never look at tomato juice in the same way after "Living With Brittanys".
Bravo....and 20 stars!!!
