For Dog Lovers And Others
Dean Blehert has found a subject that puts him in his element here, which means the subject of dogs consistently draws on his best--from affecting poet emoting on the death of his canine companion in "My Good Dog," to philosopher, punmeister, and comic talent without peer.

For Dog Lovers And Others,
By Mel B. (Arlington, Va USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Swear He Was Laughing: Poems About Dogs (Mostly) Who Only Think They Are People (Paperback)
Dean Blehert has found a subject that puts him in his element here, which means the subject of dogs consistently draws on his best--from affecting poet emoting on the death of his canine companion in "My Good Dog," to philosopher, punmeister, and comic talent without peer.

Try the hilarious gem, called "Tail Tale," which is a wholly brilliant take-off on what it would be like if we humans had tails.
