This book is a heartwarming collection for dog lovers, featuring four short stories and two limerick collections that celebrate the special bond between humans and their canine companions. The stories explore themes of love, loss, and the everyday quirks of life with dogs. "When You Lose a Dog" reflects on the deep pain of losing a beloved pet, which parallels the grief of losing any loved one. "An Open Letter to the California Black Bear" humorously depicts an elderly woman's strong-willed attitude towards sharing her evening walks with bears. "Carina and Mommy" and "Lean on the Doorbell Until a Small Dog Barks" delve into the intimate and often humorous interactions between dogs and their owners. The limerick collections by Carina and Massimo adds a playful touch. The book is beautifully complemented by Diana Lundin's pet photography. This is a tiny coffee table book with so many wonderful photographs that, although the stories are written by adults for adults, I'm sure some families will use them for bedtime stories.
