The Art of Racing in the Rain
Garth Stein
Harper, 2008
This pup's in the fast lane.
I love fiction like this. Fiction that is this well told, with well developed three dimensional characters, and a story that is thoroughly absorbing.
The story is told in the first person. The novel twist is that the first "person" is a dog named Enzo. Enzo is an ...

The Other End of the Leash: Why We Do What We Do Around Dogs

It Was Great
Don't go into this book expecting a manual and you will not be disappointed. It's a conversationally delivered comparisson of primates and canid behaviors, and how they sometimes (often) conflict, with some stories that make it all seem more relevant to real life, ...
