I love dogs just as much as the next guy. They can be cute cuddly and adorable. But too much of any thing can be more than enough to take. And that was the case with this collection of stories. They were way over the top, on the sweet side. So much so, that some of them almost made me gag. (

Heartwarming and uplifting stories about dogs. Some stories will make you laugh while others will bring to mind antics of your own dog(s). Written in a conversational style that makes for quick reading. The authors appear to approach it from a Christian perspective. (

This is a selection of very short remembrances about dogs, written by people who knew them. It reminded me of Readers' Digest stories: not deep, but satisfying light reading. (

Pleasant, easy-reading book, good for times when you only have a few minutes to read (like a short break at work) and you need to be momentarily transported to a good place. Not the best of group of dog stories I've ever read ("Dog is My Co-Pilot" is still the best) but they are fun and/or interesting. (

No one ever knew it to look at him, but somehow this scraggly little black mutt managed to live up to his name: Prince.
