"Like the Jack Russell terriers who animate its pages, this book will steal your heart, tear it up--and somehow manage to mend it, too."--(Sy Montgomery, author of The Good Good Pig)
Patrick Burns
"Alston Chase comes to Montana looking for a new pair of glasses, and is as surprised as anyone when they appear in the form of a series of small terriers which serve as a window into the land and the forces that have made it. We Give our Hearts to Dogs to Tear is more than a memoir about small dogs in Big Sky country, however; it is a book about an adventurous life, an intrepid wife, and the passing of the baton from a generation to another. What lasts? Chase' surprising answer is a simple one: Nothing loved is ever lost."--(Patrick Burns, author of American Working Terriers)
Ailsa Crawford
"We Give our Hearts to Dogs to Tear is a fantastic piece of work. I could not put it down. I pray and hope that many will read this wonderful book to understand better the true character of our terriers, and what is happening to our environment."--(Ailsa Crawford, Founder and President Emeritus, the Jack Russell Terrier Club of America)

"This may well be the most beautiful and richest book abut dogs ever penned."--(Richard S. Wheeler, Winner, Owen Wister Lifetime Achievement Award for Literature)
