Dependable 4 stars, and that´s why....
... If you think of this book as a book for children, to help them bond with their pets that they don´t yet have, to teach them responsibility and make them understand that a dog is a living creature with feelings... well in that case this book deserves even six stars! It´s touching, making readers of all ages emotional, it makes you run to your own pet and give it a big hug even if it´s a snail in the aquarium.
... If you think of this book as a collection of poems, and clearly the author wants it to be judged in a poetry category, then I am sorry, but these poems aren´t very good. Many words, phrases, even, are mismatched, displaced, just aren´t where they supposed to be. By all the standards this is just bad poetry, even though most poems sound just beautiful.
So make your own judgment, but don´t be put off by harsh academical standards. After all poetry, especially if it´s about love, must make you feel something. This collection certainly does.
Thank you to the publisher and the NetGalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

Peppernell does it again. This book is amazing. My dog passed away recently when I decided to pick up this book. It made me cry happy tears and reminisce about the time we had together.

I loved this! I read one short to my dogs every night before bed so I would have something to smile about while I went to bed. This book really does encompass exactly how it feels to love a dog so much. I can not wait to buy this for all my dog loving friends and recommend it to all my customers.
