The thing that makes this book beautiful is how it celebrates everything that makes dogs extraordinary companions: their loyalty, intelligence, humor, and the quiet way they become part of our lives and memories.

You can't read this book without yearnng for a canine love story of your own! I've had the privilege of knowing George and his dogs for more than three decades now. Over the years, he's taught me to appreciate the wordless bonds between man and canine, and to accept each of our dogs as well-loved and integral members of our family. Dogs, A Love Story gives each reader a taste of the unique relationship possible between a person and their dog, and the love and intimacy that undergirds these connections. One can't read his book without either yearning for their own canine love story or celebrating the one that they already have with deeper appreciation.
