This is a wonderful book. You don’t have to be a dog lover to enjoy this book. I grew up on a farm much like the author did. We raised pigs. We rented out our fields to neighboring farmers. We always had 1-2 dogs and loads of cats. I was the cat lover in the family and everyone else the dog lovers. We took in dogs that were dropped off in the country and found their way to our house, or dogs that were given to us because someone had abused them and they needed a good home. I could identify with the author in so many ways. There is a lot of work that goes with taking in pets like this. There are ups and down. There are times when you are overjoyed by what your dog is doing and then there are times that are tough to deal with. Kelly has gone above and beyond with her dogs. She has taken in dogs with a plethora of medical and personality disorders that would prompt others to put them down.

Another reason to read this book is because of the sheer humor found in it. The book starts out being told by Kelly’s co-writer and dog, Mr. Magoo. His humor in the way he sees things makes the story flow. The books is peppered with pictures of her dogs throughout the years. I am so glad I was given the opportunity to read and review this book. It is one I will definitely cherish and recommend to my friends.
I received a copy for review. I was not compensated in any way for my honest review. ( )

What compassion and beautiful Heart Kelly Preston has. This story will make you both laugh and cry. It is such a heart warming, page turning read.
We have Mr MaGoo...he is the delightful co-author. He does seem to have a big focus on more treats. He tells it like it is about the other members of his Canine family.
Mr MaGoo came into Kelly's family as her one doggy "love" crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. Soon MaGoo is followed by Betty Boop and Buffy, and then Carla May. Some of the problems both medical and behavior came from their Puppy Mill breeding, and abuse. Some suffered from physical and sexual abuse. It makes me sick...how could they?
The Epilogue is sad, but unfortunately it is part of life. I could not put this book down once I started. This is a book for any dog lover, and I am. Kelly has experienced the unconditional love that dogs give us.

I received this book through Pump Your Book Virtual Book Tour, and was not required to give a positive review. ( )
