Good dogs, excellent stories December 1, 2002 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
When most writing about dogs is of the sappy "Chicken Soup" variety, this collection provides a welcome alternative. It manages to move the reader without resorting to cheap sentimentalism. I read it 9 years ago an still remember several stories that touched me--beautiful pieces of fiction that showed the writers' knowledge of their craft, of humanity and of life in the company of dogs . I don't know if it's still the case, but when the book was first published, a portion of profits went to dog rescue programs. That's real dog care.
Company of Dogs February 10, 2002 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
The only thing I liked about this book was the pictures of Wegmans beautiful Wiems and the cartoons. There were a couple of nice stories but as a whole the book was unmoving. These are not touching stories of lifelong companionship.... This book was quite a disappointment. At least some of my money spent helped needy animals.
