What a delightfully reflectiVe little tome aBout the interaction between people and their dogs.
This is a tiny book, and not a lot more than the price of a Greeting Card. It would make a great little gift for someone who has just added a dog to their family,have recently lost a much loved dog or in the position of enjoying their dog.
The description of this book sort of overlooks the numerous wonderful
pictures that accompany the quotations. Though there is nothing wrong with photographs,the pictures in the book are all paintings.And what beautiful,thoughtful and personal paintings they are!!I don't think that there is a single picture in the book ,that I have ever seen before.
As an example,there is the priceless painting of a little boy about 8 years old,who is kneeling in the dark,with a tear falling from his eye,his flashlight on the ground beside him;and he has his arms around his dog who has been found;after having broken away from his tether,which still hangs from his neck.The painting has no title,nor does it need one.What is so clear is the affection being felt between the boy and his lost, but found dog.
The quotations are all excellent and by many well known Writers,;all of whom obviously must have been dog owners and lovers.Here are some of them;
Alexander Pope
Rudyard Kipling
Lord Byron
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Ogden Nash
Ambrose Bierce
Erma Bombeck
Stephen Crane
James Thurber
Konrad Lorenz
Jerome K. Jerome
George Eliot
Doris Day
And many,many ,more;including
Robert Service,who gives us this;

"The man was stretched on the pavement brutishly drunk and deadly to the world.The dog,lying by his side,seemed to look at me with sad,imploring eyes.Though all the world despised that man,I thought,this poor brute loves him and will be faithful to death."

If you love dogs, you will love this little book. Reading the quotations will almost make you cry. It reminds us of how sweet these creatures are and how their love is always unconditional.
