Pet Books

I really enjoyed this book. It reminded me of the antics of my own puppy. The book centers around a dog but it's really about a family. This book is filled with love and has really helped me get through the last very stressful week. I was laughing...

I was forced to listen to the audio book version of this. If you find Grogan annoying throughout the book, wait till you have to listen to his voice (yes, he reads it).

Basically, the guy writes an autobiography. And his dog Marley...

I read this book last night. Yes, its a cute story but I think it is way over rated. Pretty much everyone in life has a pet they love and has stories about it. This book just seems to be about one families life and their dog. I didn't think...

What a book!Just read the final chapter about this beautiful and "free thinking dog".The story is both hillarious and sad.It reads like a love story.And so funny as to what Merle is "thinking" and how Ted is describing Merle's facial...

I liked this book at first, but became frustrated as the story went on. The parts about Merle and his personality were fantastic. The story was blatently a middle aged man tooting his own horn about how fantastic his life was, how many women he...

The book had a lot of interesting material, but the author frequently went into overkill mode with details that became boring. Merle was obviously a very intelligent dog. This book is not as readable as Marley & Me, but a good read overall.

This book has been great!! I am on my 2nd copy, as I gave the first one away to a friend who fell in love with it, and am planning on buying a 3rd copy to send to another friend.

This book is very easy to follow and a pleasure to...

This is a great looking book, the pictures are lovely. Beyond that, I don't think it's a very good training book overall. The step by step instructions are often lacking clear details to teach the tricks and I find it depressing that the author...

I wanted a book that teachers your dog the basics. This book focuses on the extraodinary tricks.

Don't go into this book expecting a manual and you will not be disappointed. It's a conversationally delivered comparisson of primates and canid behaviors, and how they sometimes (often) conflict, with some stories that make it all seem more...

I'm not understanding the rave reviews as it read like a
blog and the bulk of this info is obvious if you've ever
owned a dog. Excessive references to being an Applied Animal
Behaviorist with a Ph. D. was annoying. Mom would...

This is a good book for all dog lovers, but too wordy sometimes and with too much information about chimpazee, bonobos and gorillas that makes you think you are not reading a book about dogs. Hard to use as a reference book because is written like...

I love, love, love this book. It makes you laugh, cry, get angry, then laugh again all in one story. There were dozens of stories. The only thing I've wondered is that I noticed over 90% of the stories came from professional writers. Were they...

I like horses, but I had a hard time getting into this book. Some of the stories were better than others. I think two of my favorite stories were the one about the Horse at Harvard and the one about the horses surrounding and protecting the baby....

A fast & easy read. A touching and heart-warming story. It is pleasing to to know that when others don't care about the welfare of animals that there are others who do. This is such a story. As an owner of several adopted animals, they have given...

I picked up this book, excited it was about my passion: horses. We agreed to read it during our office book club (we are a global publisher's office, so we've gone through our share of literature). The day of the meeting everyone was silent. I...

Well written book about a horse and it's new owner. Both have issues and learn to overcome them. If you like horses, you'll enjoy this book.

This book makes so much sense. The author writes in language clearly understandable to laypersons, with lots of examples and cited studies. This book has answered a lot of the questions I have about what my dog is doing; what she senses; and what...

The book was not at all a fun read! Almost every chapter was boring and non informative. The book goes on and on and yet you still feel you have not read anything of intrest.

My son (age 3) got this for Christmas from his Aunt. The first time I listened to it, I hated it and put it away. I couldn't believe my sister got it for him. After a few months we took it out and gave it a second shot. We actually listened to...

I was expecting a book/CD for children. The music is too "rock and roll" for my child. She didn't want to listen to songs with words she couldn't distinguish.

My husband, daughter and I LOVE LOVE LOVE Philadelphia Chickens so we figured we should try another one of these CD's. Well, sadly this was a big let down. I thought it would be more rock and roll and it was more like alternative rock and roll or...
