Must Love Dogs
Somewhere this past week, don't remember where, I saw an article called Must Love Dogs. This immediately brought to mind the incredible number of books about dogs that have been published these past few years. The height of man's best friend frenzy seemed to begin with the popularity of Marley & me : life and love with the world's worst dog / John Grogan. Can you believe that book was published in 2005? According to one website I visited 72 million (2007) people in the US own dogs. That's a lot of tail wagging and may account for dog stories being in so in vogue. Don't the covers alone make you want to read these? Scent of the missing : love and partnership with a search and rescue dog / Susannah Charleson. Nubs : the true story of a mutt, a Marine & a miracle / Brian Dennis, Kirby Larson, Mary Nether The lost dogs : Michael Vick's pit bulls and their tale of rescue and redemption / Jim Gorant
A big little life : a memoir of a joyful dog / Dean Koontz. Oogy : the dog only a family could love / Larry Levin. Huck : the remarkable true story of what one lost puppy taught a family-- and a whole town-- about hope and happy endings / Janet Elder. Nose down, eyes up : a novel / Merrill Markoe Dog tags / David Rosenfelt.
Dog on it : a Chet and Bernie Mystery & Thereby Hangs a Tail, / Spencer Quinn. mystery series - see my review on February 11, 2010. The fashion hound murders / Elaine Viets. The art of racing in the rain : a novel / Garth Stein
and lastly, one book in the kid's section with a title and cover I just can't resist... Smells like dog / by Suzanne Selfors.
