About this title: The memories that people have of dogs they have loved and lost are almost always of the animal in his final years; somehow, those are the images we treasure most. There is a reason. Old dogs can be rheumy-eyed and grump, gray of muzzle, graceless of gait, eccentric of habit, pimply, wheezy, lazy, lumpy. But that is not the whole of him. The old dog is resolute. He is canny. He is noble. She is funny, and seems to know it. She is sweetly vulnerable. He has character and dignity and an elegance of bearing that belies his circumstances, and above all, he seems at peace. You'd call that ...

"Books about puppies are a dime a dozen. Books about older dogs are much more rare. Having two dogs who are considered seniors, this book grabbed my attention. It was simply marvelous. Many of the vignettes (with accompanying photographs) were humorous, some were poignant, and a few were downright sad. But they all showed these old fellers and gals at their vulnerable and accepting best. I loved it."
"This gem of a book features man's best friend, after the age of 10, and is accompanied by a description of the pet by the "master". The photos are terrific and the words are heartwarming."
"This book is just a perfect gift for anyone who has ever loved an old dog and adjusted to the changes that come with age and the wisdom that seems to accompany canine aging. Loved every word!"
