"This book contained four well-written stories about dogs: The Big Kahuna, Schnauzer Talking, Becky Hungry Coyote, and Bridgette. These four stories were quite funny to read, and it was interesting to learn about how different breeds have different characteristics. Sadly, many of the stories in this book were uninteresting, boring, or poorly written. A interesting skim read, that was pleasantly different then most book I read."
"Loved it, and of course I would... I have three dogs! One excerpt after another really spoke to me, this one in particular:
"I think in grief we need to do two things: to feel our feelings and to be protected from the world. When you are trying to feel your feelings, the world abades with its noises, its gravity, its temperatures and atmospheres. In the world, even having a self is a burden. For better or worse, the self has relationships, and then, in service of the relationship, the self must be performed, using that agreeable puppet of the body. It's too much to ask sometimes. One needs to retreat into nowhere, be nothing, be relieved of existing. And with the dog there is no performance. One can be just feelings and instruments of perception. One cannot see oneself in mirrors; one cannot see mirrors at all. When the self is forgotten, all mirrors turn to glass. One can, in fact, become a dog.""
