Some of life's best teachers are those four-legged friends that send us out the door each morning and greet us eagerly with love and a wagging tail as each day comes to an end. Paws and Smell the World is a compilation of meaningful and uplifting short stories on important lessons we learn from the dogs in our lives, with chapter themes such as love, appreciation, patience, and hope.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"This book's not only for those of us who are physically possessed and spiritually obsessed by dogs -- it's for everyone! With poetry, pictures, and prose, Dana Thomas and friends redefine the familiar territory of canidae in language that is new and enlightening." --~Gerald & Loretta Hausman, authors of The Mythology of Dogs
"Old photographs, with their gray-yellow hue, of dogs in their daily lives adorn glossy pages, setting the perfect tone for a trip down memory lane...each independent piece is brief enough to curb a Book Hound's appetite for some dog-inspired reading without the time commitment demanded of a novel...or entertain that house guest who happens to pick it up off the coffee table."

Love dogs? Love this book!,

This review is from: Paws & Smell the World: Unforgettable Moments with Our Best Friend (Hardcover)
Paws and Smell the World is a delightful book of dog stories and poems that is sure to make the dog lover happy. It might even make some happy who just like animals. From stories about Lucky, the bull dog runt who survives a near-drowning, to stories about a woman learning to dance with her border collie as she cooks in her tiny kitchen--these pieces and breath-taking photographs really capture the wonderful bond that exists between humans and canines.This is a great book for any library to go along with copies of All Creatures Great and Small, Old Yeller, and Sounder. It is also a great gift for the dog person who understands what a cold wet nose and big dark eyes are all about.
