    Katz Delivers Again with Another Insightful Book

    Do dogs and other animals have souls? This and other questions about animal behavior are once again brillantly issustrated by Jon Katz who doesn't force any particular answer but offers a myriad of stories with his unique insight and humor about animals he has known. Anyone who has read his books about his dogs and animals on Bedlam Farm will be familiar with most of the animal characters. This book asks the qustions and let's the reader think about their own perspective and experience with dogs and animals to draw their own conclusions. Very informative, inquisitive and often humorous, this is a must read for anyone who has a special animal in their life.

    Do they or don't they?

    For followers of Jon Katz and the animals of Bedlam Farm, this book doesn't disappoint. And if any still have questions about whether animals have souls, making a deeper acquaintance with these animals should put them to rest.

    Another Fine Book by Katz

    I enjoyed reading this book very much. Katz relates stories about numerous animals on his farm and then waxes very philosophical on the finer points of the stories. While you may not agree with everything he writes you will enjoy the Rose the dog stories, the Winston the rooster stories, Elvis the steer and his love for snickers, and all the other animals that make up the farm life Katz loves. This is just another installment of the wonderful Jon Katz books I have already enjoyed reading.

    Another winner by great author

    Jon Katz's writing is so elegant, his story is so clear, that it is a pleasure to read anything he writes. This book follows the memoir-type quality of his other books, taking you along on his journey. this is one of my two favorite new books, the other is Paws & Effect: The Healing Power of Dogs by Sharon Sakson, which is about how the bond with your dog helps to heal humans.

    a great read for the animal lover

    Jon Katz gets into the mind and heart of the dog. He has a canny understanding and love of his pets...all of them! and the animal show a love and respect for him. this book will make one want a dog because it gets deep within the soul of a dog. the soul is the seat of the will and emotions of an animal and of man and this book proves both possess souls! a great read....thoroughly enjoyed it!

    Soul of a Dog

    I certainly enjoy reading any of Jon Katz's book and this was no exception. Entertaining and thought provoking. Now why can't we get him to come to a Barnes and Noble in Woodbury on next years tour?
