Readers familiar with Goodavage's previous book or Mike Ritland's 2013 Trident K-9 Warriors, who are interested in learning about the specialized training military dogs receive, or who want more proof of the intensity of the human-animal bond, will want to read this riveting title that is filled with excitement and heartbreak. [See Prepub Alert, 6/2/14.]
Readers who enjoyed Jennifer Ogden's Hero Dog Stories: 16 True Stories of Amazing Dogs will clamor for this heartwarming and happy-tear-provoking book.
This moving work is recommended for readers who want a true-life love story, for dog lovers seeking a book with a happy ending (the dog doesn't die!), for seniors who think that receiving a Medicare card means that love is out of the question, and for dog trainers who want to learn more about Katz's philosophy of dog training.
This book is filled with insight, self-deprecating humor, and belly laughs. Patrons who enjoyed Glenn Plaskin's Katie Up and Down the Hall, Gwen Cooper's Homer's Odyssey, or Jeff Guidry's An Eagle Named Freedom will request it.
Dog lovers, students of animal behavior, and those who enjoyed Coren's many other books or Alexandra Horowitz's Inside of a Dog: What Dogs See, Smell, and Know will demand this title. [See Prepub Alert, 1/8/12.]
Dog memoir readers who enjoyed John Grogan's Marley and Me or Julie Klam's You Had Me at Woof will appreciate this story about dogs who impact people's lives. An instant bestseller in the UK.
Part biography and part New Age philosophy based solely on Behan's observations, this is a difficult read, replete with abstract concepts such as "group consciousness," "heart energy," and "emotional counterbalance." Patrons seeking a training manual would be better served by Pat Miller's Play with Your Dog. Those wanting a novel interpretation of dog behavior and the human-canine bond will find Behan's work thought-provoking.
Despite the spoiler in the title, this story is told with page-turning, heart-stopping intensity and heart-wrenching emotion. It is likely to restore one's faith in the goodness of humanity. Most lost-dog stories are fictional; this is real. Dog lovers and other patrons looking for a heartwarming memoir will be most satisfied.
