First, what do you know about your dog? You may think you know him, but in the book “Inside of a Dog” by Alexandra Horowitz, you’ll see that your pup has learned more about you than you’ve learned about him.
Horowitz, a psychology professor, realized one day that we humans don’t know a thing about what our dogs see, smell, hear, or perceive. When was the last time you got down on your dog’s level and spent a day? You’ll want to do just that after you finish this fun and fascinating book.
This novel pits two canine heroes – a German Shepherd and a Doxie – their woman and her niece against an environmental nightmare and a nameless skeleton. Whodunit fans will love sniffing out the clues in this mystery.
Also take a look at “So Easy to Love, So Hard to Lose”, also by Laurie Kaplan. And keep a box of tissue handy.
Finally, no matter what kind of pet you have, you’ll want to read “Winging It: A Memoir of Caring for a Vengeful Parrot Who’s Determined to Kill Me” by Jenny Gardiner. With a title like that, I shouldn’t have to tell you that there are plenty of laughs in this book, as well as a lot of love.
This is a cute book for you, for a gift, or for a book group. Look for it, and make room for it in your arms next time you’re in the bookstore or library.
