 Great pictures, poor poetry... January 21, 2003
3 out of 9 found this review helpful
So we have this book in our house because my fiance is a veterinarian, and so everyone gives us dog and cat books. I picked this book up for the first time during a late-night power outage, and I've got to say, the pictures in this book had me laughing and smiling, but the text had me pulling my hair out. Sure, all dog owners put words into their dogs mouths, but most of Mr. Blount's are painfully irritating. First off, if dogs are going to be poets (which I don't really get), they ought to at least rhyme, not just ALMOST rhyme. Furball and terrible? Blount too often struggles to to be poignant (though the bulldog with the stick is right on) and ends up missing the mark. Valerie Shaff has captured the essence of what makes dogs special in her pictures, but the messages conveyed by these wonderful images are cheapened by Blount's poor poetry. I've got "I am puppy, hear me yap" on the shelf, and I'll bring it out during the next power outage. Hopefully Blount spent more than 10 minutes on the text for this book...

This book is a must for dog lovers, especially those of us (like myself) who love to imagine what our canine pals are thinking about and what they would say if they could talk.The photography is wonderful and the captions are great.

I bought this as a gift for my dog loving friend. This is a great gift and I even liked the book myself. The pictures are too cute and the text is pretty funny. A nice insight to what dogs are "really" thinking.
Great to have just lying around on your coffee table for guests to look over, it always brings a smile to their faces.

I hate to be the only one who doesn't like this book. But I don't! I think it is a waste of time & money. I donated mine the day after I got it. Let the public library house it.
