A 'must' for anyone who has ever felt their canine companion to have been an integral part of their

There are many fine books celebrating a canine companion. There are many excellent volumes comprised of fine art in celebration of dogs. "The Story of Jules Verne: A Watch Pocket Dog" by Wisconsin author and artist Wayne Caldwell Simmons brings together in a single 100-page volume a series of superbly written and intensely personal stories of his association with a seemingly rather ordinary and unimpressive canine foundling that grew to be an extraordinary and genuinely impressive hunting dog. Chronicling a ten-year relationship between Simmons and his dog Jules Verne, the engaging short story sequences are interspersed with superb reproductions of Simmons' paintings -- each of which is thematically appropriate to the chapters they so beautifully enhance. An engaging, entertaining, and occasionally inspiring read, ""The Story of Jules Verne: A Watch Pocket Dog" is especially recommended for personal and community library collections -- and a 'must' for anyone who has ever felt their canine companion to have been an integral part of their life.

It's well written and if you have ever owned a dog that was an important part of your family you will understand and relate to the author's obvious affection for dogs, especially the one about which the book is written.

I loved this book!

This is an entertaining and candid story about a man and his beloved hunting dog. The perfect book for a hunter or dog lover. Humerous, poignant stories with Southern flavor. Contains beautiful animal paintings throughout.
