A sweet book with photos full of cuteness overload and many excellent quotes about the nature of dogs and the love shared between a human and their dog. 🐾

While the puppy pictures were pretty darn adorable, the doggy quotes could have been better. The only quote I kind of liked was:

"The secret to being completely relaxed is to have a human to do all the worrying for you."

Um livro com imagens de cães muito queridos e fofos, e com frases sobre o melhor amigo do Homem que nos dão que pensar... Grande pequeno livro!

Sweet, sweet, sweet little book! We keep this book by the fireplace, and I pick it up now and then. I smile and feel the unconditional love of a dog every time I flip through it.

A compact collection of nice quotes about dogs--one of my favorite subjects. My mediocre rating owes to the fact that I don't like the photographs. I guess I'm the odd man out in this, but I find these hyper-exaggerated, ultra-distorted pictures of animals to be unattractive, even downright insulting. If you want cartoonish dogs, hire a good cartoonist--don't take pictures that make them look ridiculous.

How can anyone not think this is a great book? It's only fault is the same as dogs, it is too short. I love and collect quotes and this is filled with great quotes and cute pictures. Just a nice little book to have around and get a hint of good feelings that capture the good feelings a dog gives you.

I'm not a big fan of poetry so I did not care much for the writing in the book. The pictures of the dogs were cute though.
I think I should also mention that I am very much a cat person.
