Summary: Nice Easy Read for Dog Lovers!!!
Comment: Must read for dog lovers!!! I recently read another dog book, but did not enjoyed it because the author was way too endulging...but this author did not self endulge, but was able to talk about dogs and life lessons in a way that does not protray him as a "preacher", in other words, he did not come through as a know-it-all.
Must read.

Summary: Thoroughly enjoyable - a must read for all dog lovers
Comment: All dog lovers will find themselves nodding and smiling as they read, thinking of similar events with their own pets over the years. John does a great job mixing humor and poignancy (he does a great job narrating the audio book as well) and making this a delightful read.

Summary: Perky, heartwarming and unreadable.
Comment: I bought this book on an impulse after hearing Hurley interviewed on Fresh Air. He is far less amusing in print than on the radio. I was going to give the book as a present but realized after reading the first chapter that I'd be embarrassed to be endorsing the thing. Well if you are the sort of person that is eagerly awaiting Chicken Soup for the Soul Volume 98 (what number are they on now?!) you might love this book but if perky, heartwarming drivel doesn't do it for you, steer clear.

Summary: Doggy Wisdom Extraordinaire
Comment: Mr. O'Hurley is a talented writer and his observations on life through the eyes of dogs are thought-provoking. They made a lot of sense. And it's so funny. I think it's also touching that he wrote about the different dogs he had in his life and what they have taught him. The book is very encouraging and just like the title says, it's okay to miss the bed on the first jump.
