Dog Hearted: Essays on Our Fierce and Familiar Companions

Product Information

All of dog life is here, and this charming book shows how much poorer our own lives would be without them. and also probably because i love dogs more than i do gardening, the ladies pond (have never been), and food (i like food but would give up anything if it meant having more time with my childhood dog).

My favourite essay was Jessica Pan's The Master List as I think she endeared herself to me the moment she spoke about wrestling with a slobbering rottweiler as well as showing her terrified husband how she could put her head in his mouth and 'he could kill me but he chooses not to'.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. this book made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me feel nostalgic and most of all it made me grateful that I still have my little odi by my side (although I’m sure we’re getting to the end of our little story now too- she’s thirteen years old).

It goes beyond the damp noses and wagging tails and gets to the heart of what makes dogs our true lifelong companions. I assume most people who want to read this book are dog lovers and while I didn’t love every story, I could appreciate the insights shared.Publication dates are subject to change (although this is an extremely uncommon occurrence overall).
