Product Description
From Peter Mayle, the exploits of his beloved dog, Boy, who made a starring debut in Toujours Provence.
Now, Boy, an uncannily perspicacious and shaggy canine of undetermined origin, takes center stage, recounting his event-filled life in the French countryside. From his humble beginnings fighting siblings for liquid sustenance, until the day he establishes undisputed control of the Mayle household, Boy recounts his village life as a bachelor, his contempt for hunters, his love (after a fashion) for chickens, his amorous interludes, his run-ins with plumbers and other human annoyances, his dinner party tidbits (literally), and other joyous and trying adventures in Mayle country.
Boy's understanding of human foibles and his stylistic insouciance (learned, no doubt, at his master's feet) make for a unique and rollicking memoir.
Hotel Pastis, by Peter Mayle, is also available as a Random House AudioBook.

 Funniest book ever for dog lovers! October 24, 2008
I buy this book over and over for gifts for dog lovers as it is the funniest, most entertaining book ever written for "us." Sure Marley & Me is cute but this is not as maudlin or annoying; it's a howl a chapter & so smartly written by the same author who brought us all the Provence books. Absolutely a must read for dog lovers.
Excellent Shape! August 31, 2008
The book arrived quickly and was in absolutely excellent shape, as promised. I was giving it as a gift, so had needed a book that was like new. I was told this book was just like new and indeed it was. They also sent the book out extremely quickly. I was more than impressed and would do business with them again.
I adore Boy! June 30, 2008
If you are a dog-lover this is a must-read. If you just like to read--this is a must-read! Wonderful accounts in the dog's perspective which makes some to-the-point, and hilarious observations. The is one to read over and over again because it makes me smile all the time.
My favorite Peter Mayle book!! November 30, 2007
A Dog's Life should be read once a year...whether you need to or not! It will brighten your day!!
 defintely a mutt read October 11, 2007
To curl up on yer favorite straw and read up on innocence, this is what life is really like on the fours, when the wind do be howling, and the pavement is like sausages bubbling on the hearth, begob, there is nothing like a really good bone and a nice front to back shake after a bit of the old dew and the fur tangly whiskey colored, stinking to high heaven, and the constable on his bicycle busting the door down about some traffic crime...but I bet you dont know anyhting BOUT THAT DO YOU?
