This book is many of my favorite things ✔️Dogs, ✔️ Graphic novels, and ✔️ Poems. It’s a fun little book to read or share. I look forward to more from this author. Thank you for the opportunity to review this book.

😍😍 I loved this book!!! I giggled often, loved the illustrations, and also got a little teary eyed at one point. Definitely recommended for the dog lovers of the world!

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for providing me with a copy in exchange for my honest review.

I started reading this thinking that this would be light and fluffy. It is not. This is serious stuff. I know, I know the title says as much. It is loving and sweet and way too short. I wanted to wrap the prose around myself like a warm blanket. It is lovely and perfect for a dog lover or anyone who can appreciate the better half of a dog/human relationship. Truly I think dogs are too good for us humans. Wonderful book.

Beautifully written! REALLY ENJOYED THIS ONE! Heartwarming, uplifting and so touching! THANK YOU #NETGALLEY!

The show with the same name does a better job of expanding Martin’s thoughts. This tiny book needed more: more content, more substance, more illustrations. and more haikus. I really enjoyed the show much more than this book. It was very short with 70-ish pages. It was cute but nothing great,

I didn't really think too much going into the book-it was destined to be a mushy, adorable collection from the perspective of a dog, from an obvious dog lover.
It was easy to sense that the dog was vulnerably pouring its heart out: the loss, the separation, the love, the licks, the treats, everything from a pupper's perspective.
gibing a lot of pattos to the good boi

I just felt like a lot of memes and dogspotting groups on social media do the same - so the mush factor rode low for me, but it was a very adorable account *woof* nonetheless.

A sweet and entertaining book. I recommend it to any animal lovers.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC

First I have to say I love dogs. My favorite of my pack is currently happily chewing on a treat while I write this.
Parts of this book made me laugh out loud because that's probably what Fergus thinks. Others made me hold him tighter.
Downward Dog will delight most people. And the ones it doesn't, well, they're cat people.

This was a sweet little book, a collection of Hiakus and drawings in the point of view of Martin the dog. Some of them were quite sad, quite deep and a lot relatable. Are there are some great sketches that accompany some of the poems.

Its definitely a book you could enjoy even if you've not seen the series before.

Aww, I loved Martin. This book is a very quick collection of haikus written in Martin's voice accompanied by cute illustrations. If you saw the show, you'll also have Martin's voice in your head as you read which only adds to the experience. And how awesome that Ned, who played Martin on the short-lived ABC show, was adopted from a shelter?!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read and review a copy of this book. All comments are my own, unbiased opinion.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book, but it was short and sweet. Just like the show, it had me laughing and wanting to cry at the short story that was weaved within the haiku. Definitely worth a read, especially if you loved the tv show!

I really enjoyed this. It was short and sweet and the feelings and moments of a dog's life were so rightfully put into words.

This dog has a serious Haiku problem. They are so sweet and somehow the author makes the words seem to come from the dogs mouth. I would definitely buy this book, and I think it would put smiles on a lot of people's faces.

This was such a sweet and cute little book! Great for all dog lovers, which I definitely am one. Coming from a dog's prospective, you just can't go wrong. The illustrations were so cute!! I really did appreciate the Thanks To section at the end advocating adopting from a shelter. I have 2 dogs and a cat I adopted 7 years ago, months apart, they are the love of my life.

I am also really excited about checking out the TV show, Downward Dog, I never heard of this show. Again anything that has to do with the love of dogs (except if its too sad) I am all for it!

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me the opportunity to receive this book. All opinions are my own.

One of the funniest books I’ve read in a long time! Hysterical poems and illustrations represent the thinking of Martin, the talking canine from ABC’s Downward Dog. 5/5

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the review copy in exchange for my true opinions.

This is a real cute book of Haiku & very simple drawings....all relating to the dog Martin's view point. A very short book, but how can one go wrong celebrating a dog's love?! I especially liked the last page that included a photo of the real Martin, & a message advocating for the adoption of shelter dogs needing a home.
I received this e-book from NetGalley & the publisher Animal Media Group LLC.....in return for my own fair/honest review.

Downward Dog, by Samm Hodges and Phinehas Hodges, is a book of poems supposedly composed by Martin, the dog, from the eponymous American sitcom. Martin (voiced by writer, Samm Hodges) lives with his owner, Nan (of Krampus and the FX series Fargo) and is tormented by a neighbourhood cat named Pepper (voiced by Maria Bamford). The first season of the series aired on the American ABC network in 2017.

This brief volume contains some cute poems about Martin's life and neighbourhood, like his love for Nan, his hatred of Pepper, the cat and the monotony of dog food. It would probably appeal most to dog lovers.

A lovely little book which made me want to be a dog-owner again. This would make a great gift for dog-loving friends. It's a `makes me smile` book.

I was enthusedto read this book because I was a huge fan of the television show. Martin the dog had always cracked me up and this book continues that tradition. It is delightful just delightful. My grandchildren and I enjoy it frequently. My only complaint is that it is too short!

This was adorable and hilarious. The haiku’s were humourous with the exception of 1 that had me a bit worried but everything worked out as it should. The illustrations give it the perfect added touch.
It was a quick read but it was just the thing I needed to put a smile on my face I’ll likely read it again for another laugh.
