As a gift, my mother's friend got this book for me. I am not a fashion connoisseur, as a matter of fact I detest the world of fashion altogether. The book isn't your normal book of tips for being a model, this book provides a view of the fashion world from a dog's point of view. Not only is this book charming and full of great pictures, it's also a delight to read. Although I wouldn't recommend this book to a true fashion lover, or even a person who is looking for the meaning of life through fashion, this book is good for a laugh. My favorite recurring theme in this book is the constant mentioning of Sweetie's bad breath (from all the blts, beef, liver, and turkey sandwiches). So girls be proud of your pear shaped figure and back fat, Sweetie is, so buy this book!

The idea of a dog venturing forth from humble beginnings (about as humble as they come) into the spotlight - who doesn't love a rags to riches story? The illustrations are as charming as the story she tells; Sweetie's insights into the fashion world are original (a dog's point of view, of course!) - as are many of her beauty tips. A very entertaining and enjoyable read.

I literally stole this book from an 8 year old! This book was so darn cute I couldn't stop laughing and reading passages aloud to my husband. I will buy several copies and of course return the one to the little girl.
I would love to have a steak and martini with Sweetie.
I will keep up with Mark Welsh's work from now on.
Sweetie, you go girl!

Very clever ,very New York. Wonderful little snippets of wisdom from our little sister...Of a girl we can all relate to...a sweet little broad navigating the perils of the beyond, beyond NY glam scene..A little bottom line for all us nervous femmes in these terrible times...good giggle is what we all can do with. Universally humorous..Some calssic lines I intend to steal..My French friends love her..

From pet-lovers to fashion-lovers to anyone who loves a good laugh, Sweetie charms them all. Her voice is brought to life by Mark Welsh's wonderfully witty and insightful writing, while Rubin Toledo's drawings sing with color and pizzazz!
I read the book with my daughter first, and then had to keep picking it up in the evenings for more. (When do we get to see "Sweetie...The Movie?!")
Sweetie is a truly engaging character. I, for one, will be buying a copy for everyone on my gift list this holiday!

Sweetie is the funniest book that I have ever read about the fashion industry! Sweetie tells all there is to know about being a huge star, like the importance of wearing clanky jewelry so that you fans will know when you are arriving. Sweetie even lets you read the steamy details of her past love affairs, not to mention and insider view of her dressing rooms around the globe! She's a busy dog alright , and dont go looking for any deep meaningful writing but Sweeetie's book is sure to give you a double dose of all the fun, fabulous, hyjinx and hysterics that fashion industry has to offer!

Like fashion week, this book should have been cancelled.
Like the fashion people who provided quotes for the real author, a fashion insider, this book sees itself as oh so witty, is self absorbed, and painfully shallow.
