5.0 out of 5 stars A true love story, November 20, 2003

By	Christine L. Monahan "thecrit" (Upstate, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This book is a real love story about the pure affection and enthusiasm that dogs, particularly our "hotdogs" (I have two), generate. And, it does so with humor and optimism in the spirit of Herriot.

I particularly liked the Christmas story which celebrated the unique gifts given to us by this breed, while humanizing-- but still respecting-- the manger scene.

Good work, Jack!

5.0 out of 5 stars Redstripe is a delight!, May 10, 2003

By	Cindy A. Lee "Book Goddess" (Thiensville, WI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is a must for any dachshund lover or dog lover. Jack captures the essence (and quirks) of the breed with his stories. I had the pleasure of "getting to know" Jack and Belle via the on-line dachshund email list a few years back and was thrilled to see his stories in print for everyone to enjoy.
