Review
"There are two kinds of books in the dog section of my book shelves: the picture books that in all of photographic time have honored our worthy companions, and the books that speak their hearts, souls and minds. This is a delightful and smart combination of both: a book you keep returning to for the pleasure of the endearing photographs, and for wisdom when guidance is required."--Sharon Beals, author of What Dogs Do
