Dog enlightenment

This book presents in both funny and profound pictures and Zen sayings the wonderful qualities all dogs possess. Kept me in the moment as I read it.

Cute little book

As every dog owner knows, dogs live completely in the moment. It seems entirely fitting for a book like this to reveal the members of the canine kingdom for the happy little Buddhas that they are, through 50 black-and-white photographs paired with quotes from various Zen sources. I also highly recommend another little book of Eastern wisdom titled "Open Your Mind, Open Your Life" by Taro Gold which is filled with hundreds of insightful quotes to inspire and enlighten.

Dog Gone Great Book

I really loved this book... I've always felt that dogs were special teachers and now an adorable book that shows just what they teach - things like love, devotion, joy... everything I strive for as a meditator. And to think, the average pooch had them all them the time. The photos work very well with the quotes, made me think about how the simplest things, like the loving look in my dog's eyes, are what really matter. I can't wait to give it to friends and family as holiday gifts, especially now, when the world really needs a good tail-wagging pat on the head.

LOVING CANINE BUDDHAS!

Being a devoted follower of Buddhist Philosophies, this book totally captured my heart. Filled with lots of photographs and Zen quotations which seem so fitting of the canine world, this book will give you plenty of smiles and bring sunshine to your day. These devoted Buddhas of the animal kingdom know better than anyone the meaning of compassion, loyalty, unconditional love and living with a kind heart. They give so much and expect so little. Our canine friends can teach us an endless amount about what is important in life and what is very insignificant, if only we would take the time to stop, listen and observe. The only downside of the book was that it contained too few pages in number and coloured photographs would certainly have given the book higher quality and appeal, even if the end result was a higher price tag.

dog gone great book

I loved this book! As a dog lover, it touched my inner spirit and made me realize how much I have learned from my dogs. The zen quotations and the fabulous photographs made me laugh and really think about how smart it can be to just be simple and straightforward -- like a dog! I can't wait to give this book to all my dogloving friends for the holidays.
