Dog is my Co-Pilot

If I were to invite you into my home the first thing you might notice, after the tumbleweeds of dog hair, is the stack of dog books next to the chair by the front door. 

I am a dog-themed book addict.  Behavior, training, true stories; I've got a ginormous number of books from the pet section of Super Humongous Chain Bookstore and my credit card balance number climbs if I so as much run in to that store grab a coffee.  I can't help myself.  I'm compelled to buy them.

Some are better than others; some tomes are magical, some suck bully sticks.  Thankfully, I've gotten really good at weeding out the later category and, lucky you, I've decided to pass on recommendations for my favorite ones to you on this here doggie blog.

I have made a commitment to myself that I will write about at least one book - good or not, because there will be times when a stinker sneaks under my radar - every two weeks.  Not only will you get some great new reading material but I will get another excuse to buy books.  It's a win/win situation for all.

Okay, enough yappin'.

My recommendation for this week is a book of stories by dog owners/writers that one moment had me laughing out loud and the next weeping into my Cheerios. 

Dog is my Co-Pilot: Great Writers on the World's Oldest Friendship a book from the editors of one of my favorite dog magazines -  Bark - impressed me so much that I gave copies of this book to my dog loving friends as holiday gifts.   And I only give books as gifts if I really, really love the book.  The stories of the love between human and canine spoke to me in that magical way that only a few books in my life ever have, and it has been my mission to spread the word of this magnificent book ever since I turned the last page.

Dog is My Co-Pilot came out in 2003 so it should still be easy to find in bookstores, or you can buy it online from Super-Duper Amazingly Humongous Online Bookstore or, better yet, purchase it from the Bark website and make it a two-fer:  a copy of the book and a one year subscription to Bark magazine for $26.95.

You will not be disappointed.
