5 stars (Good Dog Stories, Funny, Touching, True) - This is a great book, made me laugh a lot, hard to put down if you like reading a good dog story, and it's title is true. This is the story of how a dog gave the author and her family the priceless challenges of owning a dog - a hound at that, love, joy (when she wasn't running into a busy street), and how she saved the lives of other dogs, and even inspired her owner to write this wonderful book for the world to read. There are also stories of other people and their dogs. Very well-written and it made me laugh throughout. 5 stars (What the Dog Did: Tales from a Formerly Reluctant Dog Owner) - This is the funniest book over all that I have ever read! There are some sad parts, letting you know how cruel people can be to animals, but for the most part, I laughed so long and hard, I broke a blood vessel in my nose which caused a nose bleed!! It was worth it, however! I would recommend this book highly, if you are an animal lover. Vicki G, Elk River, MN 5 stars (Laughing all the way to the pound) - This book will do just that to you...have you laughing, and going to the pound to find a wonderful dog to save. Having gotten my beagle from BREW, the rescue organization featured a few times in this book, I felt a special connection to what Yoffe wrote, but even without that connection, this book will please you to no end if you're a dog person in the least. Her stories will hit home, make you laugh, and make you want to go over and give a big hug to your dog for being the wonderful creature he/she is. I highly recommend this book. ...
