Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
This sweet sequel to Bark if You Love Me, in which Bernikow first introduced her beloved brown boxer, Libro (adopted in the late '90s after he was rescued by the police), relates their subsequent adventures living in Manhattan. Libro relished apartment life even in a five-floor walkup, making friends with the neighbors (it takes a building to raise a dog) and endearing himself to Bernikow's friends. So urban was Libro that he had difficulty adjusting to a month's vacation in the Hamptons and refused to go in the water. Although clearly smitten with her dog, Bernikow leavens her adoration with references to literary figures and their pets, such as Virginia Woolf's Pinka and Emily Brontë's Keeper. She also delivers a humorous account of the book tour for Bark if You Love Me, which included paw stamping by Libro as well as autographing by Bernikow at bookstores. But Bernikow's bout with cancer, during which Libro barely left her side, was followed by the dog's own diagnosis with a tumor soon after his ninth birthday,. Bernikow describes her intense pain after losing her beloved companion, which she marked with a postmortem party for friends and admirers. (June 15)

From Booklist
Bernikow was an urban sophisticate who knew what she needed, and those needs did not include any nonhumans. Little did she know that her world would shift when she observed a crowd gathered around a police car. When she made eye contact with the car's occupant, a brown boxer with amber eyes, the dog came home with her. Clearly a city dog, Libro understood cars, apartment life, and Spanish—he got his name when on his first day with her, the author warned him away from her books, in Spanish. She discovered that the anonymity that New Yorkers prize goes out the window when you are accompanied by a dog, but that same dog also generates the freedom to explore the good and not-so-good areas of the city, day or night. Libro opened the author's heart, prompted her into endearments she previously rolled her eyes at, and became her significant other. And finally, he helped the author and other shell-shocked survivors of 9/11 by becoming a therapy dog. Will touch the heart. Bent, Nancy
