What My Dog Has taught Me About Life

WHAT MY DOG HAS TAUGHT ME ABOUT LIFE
Gary Stanley
Honor Books. 2007. 190 p. Nonfiction

Another in the immensely popular “dog teaches man” philosophy books. However there are a few things that make this book stand out from the crowd. The winsome dog photos on brightly colored pages give the reader a sense of cheer. Besides the short tales of “man and his best friend”, the reader is treated to “Something To Chew On” (words of wisdom from a dog’s viewpoint), “Paws for Prayer” (prayers from a dog’s perspective which humans possibly could learn from), some biblical scripture quotes and pages called Mutterings (quotes by the author and other humans). The book is both a pleasure to look at and read. Recommend reading and enjoying to all, especially those who are dog lovers or likers.
