What the dog did : tales from a formerly reluctant dog owner

This was without a doubt the funniest book I have ever read - and that includes all of David Sedaris. I laughed out loud and read excerpts aloud to anyone who would listen. Ms. Yoffe's conversion from cat person to hard-core dog owner and foster care provider was hysterical. Her personal stories are funny enough but what she shares from the lives of others is a riot. What made it particularly funny is that she saw the humor in her own behavior - there's nothing better than a self-depreciating dog owner - so many are self-righteous and nuts, I found her refreshing! A must read!

This mostly met my needs for a good hearted, but not sappy animal story and the fact that it was set up as many chapters that served as short stories meant I could put it down and come back to it or just read on thru. Great for the busy Holiday times. I laughed and was saddened by the characters. By the time I read it the book was 18 years old and still maintained its character and humor.

Excellent!

The book includes a variety of touching, funny, and sad stories about pets from a variety of different owners. The book literally made me "laugh out loud" on numerous occasions. As the owner of a 4 month old black lab puppy, I found it both comforting and reassuring to read about other pet owners that struggled to house break and train their pets.

I would definitely recommend this book to others-- especially to pet owners!

I loved this book and it was laugh out loud funny, but it makes me think twice about getting a dog!
