DOG LOVE

Rating:
Summary: Very different
Review: I rather enjoyed this book. No, it definitely is not another cutesy dog book. Rather it is more of an academic study of the relationship between man and dog. There is a chapter on Bestiality which may offend some people, but I personally was pleased to see someone have the courage to deal with this 'forbidden' subject.

Summary: Great book
Review: If you are one of the dog-lovers, this one is a must-have. You'll find out why....This is unputdownable. I've read the hardcover edition of this book.

Summary: Beware of "Dog"!
Review: My mother had me order this book for her on the strength of a positive reference to it in "The New Yorker," on the assumption that it was one of those nice little books about people who love their doggies. She was shocked out of her mind when she started reading the section featuring a graphic (and nonjudgmental) discussion of people who sexually molest their dogs! One of the other reviewers here thanks Amazon.com for warning readers beforehand about this controversial aspect of the book--I don't know where it was, as I saw no such indication here when I myself ordered it. Not to advocate prudery or censorship, but this goes pretty far beyond the pale.

Summary: Top rank dog-book !
Review: This is one of the most attractive dog-book I've ever read. You will get more understanding about the world of your beloved dog, that actually, we can humanize dog. The scope of this book is about dog's life, dog's manner, dog's soul, and....I can't mention all of them. Buy this book, and you will understand by yourself !

Summary: Excellent.......
Review: You will find more and more and more about your loving dog ! You won't be sorry for buying this book. Excellent. First I bought this book because it's about dog and it's on sale (just like that). But later, when I read it, obviously it's not just an ordinary dog-book, this one is extraordinary !

Summary: Tasteless and uninspiring
Review: _Dog Love_ reads like a dry PhD dissertation; as a former college instructor, I can appreciate the research involved in this text. That said, the chapter entitled "Sex and the Single Dog" contained a litany of references to bestiality in literature. My concerns are for readers, especially the young and their guardians, who expect to read stories of inspiration but are instead inducted into a perverse exploitation of dogs. Kudos to Amazon.com for warning readers through reviews such as this [unlike one of your competitors who has now lost my business].
