SimplyDog: Life Lessons That Bark [Large Print] [Hardcover]

Megan Weinerman (Author), Maria Peevey (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2003

SimplyDog is a dog's-eye view of modern living. Reh is no ordinary dog. For Reh, life is a journey toward harmony, fulfillment, and self-acceptance, not just mindlessly chasing after cars and happiness. And whether she's dating, coming home from work, or just de-stressing, Reh shares what she learns in a Bark - a phrase that helps her achieve, overcome, or just simply cope: As Reh demonstrates in SimplyDog, the right attitude can make all the difference. In photos and text, Reh delivers the Bark in 27 lessons we all can relate to: Whatever you do, make it look good: Perfection is overrated: Everyone needs something to believe in. In real life, Reh is the cherished golden retriever of Maria Peevey, founder of SimplyShe. What Maria and Megan share in their SimplyShe books and cards, Reh now shares in SimplyDog. Her outlook, her hard-won wisdom, and most of all, her bark-based approach to life, will speak eloquently to readers of every species. Playful, modernist photographs plus humorous text make SimplyDog the perfect gift for the deep-thinking dog lover.

About the Author

Maria Peevey and Megan Weinerman are the funny girls behind the SimplyShe line of books, cards, and gifts. Their previous books detailed the human dating scene (Are You My Boyfriend?) and spoofed the search for self-help (I love my hair!).

5.0 out of 5 stars Use this book to de-stress, May 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: SimplyDog: Life Lessons That Bark (Hardcover)

I saw this book in this month's Glamour and just about died when I looked through it at Borders. I bought it for my Mom for Mother's Day, and my friend who is going through a hard time right now. This is a really funny book (like all the SimplyShe books), but it's also really insightful. If you're a dog lover, you must get this- we all know how much dogs de-stress our lives, but if we all thought like them too- we'd all be happy, all the time! This book is really is adorable, and a really great gift.

This review is from: SimplyDog: Life Lessons That Bark (Hardcover)

I normally wouldn't have bought this, since I'm trying to *gasp* cut back on my book purchases (being a college student will do that to a person, sadly). Found it in the dollar bin at my local Petco, and am glad that I did. The way that little life tips are presented, and all the fun pictures...the way that Reh seems to like to stick her face right into the camera is fun!
