Customer Reviews

A must have for anyone with a brain!

"Woof!" is exquisitely written! I love this book. The PERFECT gift for anyone with a heart-full of love for dogs -- and a "brain-full" of appreciation for the written word! The writers have a glorious gift in their ability to allow the reader to FEEL what the writers have experienced. And the stories run the gamut -- whimsical, very funny ("My Commodore"!), touching, philosophical... I've given four copies (so far!) as gifts. And of course, I bought one for myself! Arlene Wands

Powerful

A collection of powerful, poignant short stories by contemporary writers about their often complex relationships with dogs. You're not likely to see dogs the same way again after you read this book.

What a fun book. A gift for my sister, who owns a "Doggie Bed & Biscuit". She will love it.

Double Woof

Just received this from a friend - I'm loving it! You don't have to be a dog lover to appreciate the humor and touching vignettes herein. One of my favorites so far is by Michelle Latiolais - a touching mix of the comic and the tragic.
