 Good Dog. Stay. February 17, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This was an excellent book. I can relate to what the author wrote because I have lost my beloved "Casey" within the past six months after having her for 13 years. I experienced some of the same feelings and situations that was described in the book. This is one book that I will read over and over again.
 If you have lost an elderly dog you'll be touched by this book February 13, 2008

This is a comfortable and very personal book that you can read cover-to-cover in one or two sittings.
Nothing dramatic here, just the story of everyday life with a family dog. But anyone who has watched a beloved dog grow old, stiff, and white-faced will relate to Anna Quindlin's story. This book was written by someone who understands that the quiet moments of family life are what matter (and that our dogs are truly family).
 Too little February 11, 2008

Received this as a gift & started reading & finished on the same day. Not very much of a book lengthwise and not very interesting to tell you the truth.
If you find this at a yard sale for 10 cents, maybe spend your money.
Otherwise, nah, don't bother.
If you are a dog lover! February 8, 2008

If you are a dog lover, this is a nice book to remind you why you love your pet so much. As you get older, you realize how fast life goes by and with dogs it's so much faster. Currently we have a puppy, now going on 7 months, and full of energy and life and the pursuit of just about anything that is around her. It's wonderful to watch and be a part of. Of course if you've had other dogs and watched them grow old, and slow down, you know this won't last long, so you enjoy the quality of time that you are arrorded. This book gives you that caption in life, and let's you enjoy it. An easy read, nicely written, and can be finished in an afternoon.
 Lovely Essay -- Not a Book February 1, 2008
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
With dog books such a profitable cottage industry, it's no surprise to see famous people/writers throwing their hat in the ring.
"Good Dog, Stay" is a thoughtful, heartfelt tribute to a dog. And, in Quindlen style, there are some magnificent turns of phrases, laugh-out-loud humor, and sharp insights proffered.
In order to disguise the brevity of the book, the publisher pads nearly every other page with stock photography of generic dog photos, which felt contrived and meaningless. Why not photos of Quinden's dog?
While Quindlen's writing is as crisp as ever, I think the publisher was misguided on this project.
