"I think any writer who is in love with his dog wants to put into words how beautiful the animal is, and do justice to every expression and behavior.
I was completely charmed by Ackerley's account of his dog Tulip. Some critics on Amazon were repulsed by his romanticized description of Tulip's genitalia, for example. It didn't strike me as pornographic, but rather poetic.
I have a female German shepherd who is spayed, so in my mind, she will always be a puppy. But Tulip becomes a "woman," so her life story takes a different path than my dog's.
Most of the book is about Ackerley's efforts to mate Tulip, not because he wants to raise puppies, but because that is what nature intends for female dogs in heat. At the very least, the book is an education in the mating of dogs in captivity."
"A really good read about a man and his dog, a man who never wanted a dog, but nevertheless, a man who allowed his dog to become his whole world, or at least it seems to me. Ackerley went to extremes even for a radical dog lover, but don't we all. If you like books about people and their loyal companions then this is a good one. Short, you can read it in a couple of evenings. Very enjoyable."
