This has been on my "to read" list for a while, as all Roy MacGregor's books are, but having gotten my first dog this year I figured now would be a good time to read it. Upon reading it though, I imagine it will have all the more significance in 15 years when I've experienced all Roy talks about in this book. For now, it's simply a window to what's to come. Or so I can only hope.

A delightful collection of the author's stories about the dogs he has had over the years. Definitely a book all dog lovers should read.
