Bark Editors

This book is crammed full of pictures of happy dogs. They are laughing, smiling and jumping for joy. There are short notes about many of the dogs, and a foreword by Ann Patchett. It’s a wonderful and humorous look at our canine companions. The pictures are marvelous and uplifting.

I love this book but the pictures are too small! All of these fabulous smiling dogs and I had to get a magnifier to appreciate them appropriately. I love Bark magazine and just about everything they've published but this should really be a larger-format book. I bought it anyway.

Nice little collection of essays about dogs. I have preferred to read it in bursts, an essay or two at a time, over the past couple of years. There are some really great pieces in this collection (as well as some duds), but overall it is an enjoyable examination and celebration of our relationships with dogs.

Some of the stories are good and pretty funny, others not so much.
