The truth I do not stretch or shove
When I state that the dog is full of love.
I've also found, by actual test,
A wet dog is the lovingest.

Joshua T. ★★★★★

The mix of witty and moving poems hit me right in the heart—I actually laughed out loud at one about a slobbery tennis ball, then teared up at the next page. It's the kind of collection you'll keep on the coffee table forever.

Matthew E. ★★★★★

The illustrations are gorgeous—they really bring each poem to life. This anthology has the perfect mix of funny verses about chewed slippers and genuinely moving tributes. Lost my old boy last year, and the final section had me in tears.

Hannah M. ★★★★★

My sister's dog passed last month, so I gave her this hoping the poems would help. She called me crying happy tears over one about a dog waiting by the door. The illustrations alone are worth it.
