A must read for dog lovers

Markoe has an amazing insight into the canine psyche. If you love dogs you will love this book.

Funniest dang book in eons

Merrill Markoe is smart, irreverent, bitingly insightful, mercilessly funny and a dog lover, too. This book will have you wheezing with laughter. I'll read anything by this author. She's a force of nature.

Absolutely delicious!!!

This is one of the most entertaining books I have ever read. After spending many hours reading "Edgar Sawtelle", which was amazing but draining...I was pleasantly surprised to meet Jimmy & Gil, Eden, Dink and the rest of the mutts. If you need a break from the grind, read this book!!! I just bought 2 copies in hard print for my dog loving friends that don't have a Kindle, so sorry for them!!! Silly friends...they never listen...

I love this novel and I think you will, too.

Merrill Markoe is one of my favorite authors, so I make it a point to buy all of her books, read them and recommend them to friends. Do you ever wonder what dogs are actually thinking? Well, as the owner of 2 rescued dogs, I often wish I could read their minds. Reading Nose Down, Eyes Up and her previous novel, Walking in Circles Before Lying Down, may be the closest I'll ever get to reading my dogs' minds. Actually, I'm sure Merrill's dialogue is way funnier than anything my dogs could come up with. And she weaves this creative doggie dialogue into a fiction story that held my attention from the first page to the last.

I loved this book

Merrill Markoe is consistently hilarious, and her latest doesn't disappoint. I couldn't put it down--it took me two days to read, tops--and I was still laughing hours after I turned the last page. The dog dialogue is particularly spot-on; as a dog owner, myself, I recognized everything the dogs said to be "true." It matched their behavior to a "T"! Highly recommend.
