Dog Book Review

Stepdog by Nicole Galland

On December 2, 2015 / Dog Book Review

Stepdog, by Nicole Galland Boy meets girl. Boy falls for girl. Boy meets girl’s dog… Stepdog, is a very well-written and incredibly realistic telling of the “love me, love my dog” standard. Rory and Sara, once coworkers, become romantically involved, and then married, through a series of unexpected events. Rory must find his place not only in Sara’s home, but also in her relationship with her dog, Cody. I feel that the author did an amazing job communicating to readers the plight of those “dog people” who happen to be in relationships with the “non- dog people”. I was very

True Tails from the Dog Park

On November 18, 2015 / Dog Book Review

True Tails from the Dog Park I and II, by Max and Luther (and their guardians Kari Sherman and Carey Laubenberg), are adorable illustrated books full of stories from the perspectives of Max, a Puggle, and Luther, an Olde English Bulldog, and their dog friends. Max and Luther are best friends and play together often at the dog park. Their owners became fast friends after seeing each other regularly at the same dog park and trading stories about their encounters.

The Positive Dog

On February 25, 2015 / Dog Book Review

Are you a POSITIVE or NEGATIVE person? Do you see the glass half full or half empty? What about your friends, who do you hang out with? Do you get motivated by them or depressed with them? Have you ever been around someone that just sucked the life out of you with their negativity? What did you do about it? Did you try to cheer that person up or did you wallow in depression with them? Being around negative people is not fun and quite honestly it is not good for you. I recently read a book about a dog

The Dogs Were Rescused (and So Was I)

On December 5, 2014 / Dog Book Review

The Dogs Were Rescued (and So Was I) by Teresa Rhyne I really enjoyed reading Teresa Rhyne’s The Dogs Were Rescued (and So Was I). The author, a cancer survivor, herself, quickly draws the reader into her experiences and misadventures, both with her own battles with cancer, and that of her dog, Seamus (and others to come). Seamus’ tale, began in her previous book The Dog Lived (and so Did I), (which I was not aware of, previously, and am dying to read!) is continued here, and the author also embarks on a new journey, with a new pair
