This is just one of the cutest dog books ever. It covers many of the famous dogs from the movies over the last 100 years, devoting a page to each one with excellent photos and descriptions. It just brought back so many wonderful memories for me. I now have 3 dogs after recently adding a little puppy that was a rescue several months ago. I’m a bit of a dog nut I guess you could say, but they bring me so much joy. They are wonderful companions and company as I have been disabled for quite a while, and recently had to give up driving too, because of a medical condition. This book reminds me of all the dogs I loved in the movies through the years when I didn’t happen to have a dog of my own for some reason. I remembered how they could make me laugh and at times even cry, but most of all, they made me want a furry family member once again to share my life. Or, if I did have one when I watched the ones onscreen, I gave mine an extra affectionate hug of appreciation, so glad that they were in my life.

I would recommend this book to most any dog lover. I’m sure you’d enjoy the trip down memory lane to revisit these old favorites too. See how many you remember. I enjoyed the ones I didn’t recall, as well as the ones I did. It’s a quick but fun read, if you go through it all in one sitting or you can just enjoy a few an evening before you go to sleep, and extend the experience. I like to change things up from my true crime binges with delightful books like this now and then.
