Editorial Reviews

"The life of a dog is a simple and strangely marvelous thing; and that finally may be what sets Bashan and I apart: it is true to the life of a dog."

Ruminator Review Gary Amdahl

"Termed the finest study of the mind of a dog ever written, a few boldly assert that it is no doubt one of the greatest portrayals of a man's mind. . . . An extremely lovable story. . . . An enchanting classic."
