Dog World : And the Humans Who Live There

Rating:
Summary: A wonderful read
Review: Alfred Gingold's Dog World is not only for dog lovers--though they will surely love the insights, descriptions, and stories in this book. But while writing so wittily and warmly about the dogs he comes across in his daily walkies and poop scooping, Gingold manages also to make this a book about people--family, friends, artists, breeders, trainers, dog owners, and the long-suffering UPS man.
This book actually makes me want to own a dog--a dog who likes to shower? a dog who looks like a teddy bear--how bad can that be? But I may have to settle for looking longingly and with newly-educated eyes at the dogs patrolling my neighborhood. Anyway, it's a warm, charming, witty, AND informative book. Just right to curl up with on a cold winter evening.
