Precious

I love this book. The pictures are adorable, and reminded me so much of the dogs in my life- along with their beloved toys. I bought it as a gift for a friend. The little stories that go along with each picture had me laughing and thinking fondly of my pooches at home.

Sweet!

Haven't we all had a dirty wow wow? I love this book like I loved my own stuffed dog "Yoders" as a child. The pictures and the stories in this book are as much a treasure as each stuffed animal or blanket we love.

Dog Lovers ~ beautiful photography & wonderful stories

I'm more of a cat person then a dog person. However, this book just makes me smile. The photography is beautiful and the stories are heartwarming. I really enjoyed reading each dogs story and about their favorite toy. How cute is that? Just goes to show that animals really do have feelings, emotions, etc. If you love dogs or just animals in general ~ you will enjoy Dirty Bow Wow.

gorgeous photos, and wonderful prose

This medium format book is alot of fun for dog lovers. The photography is simply beautiful. They captured wonderful moments of these dogs with their toys. I especially love the picture of the pug Bugsy with his teddy. All of the stories that go along with these pictures really make the book a unique fun read for children and adults alike. Great gift for the doglover!

Sweet Memories

I received this book as a gift and immediately had to order it as a gift for my sister who turns 65 next week. Her threadbare companion until our family left it in a motel enroute from Chicago to Seattle, was a small down pillow, called her "My My". She was only four years old, I was nine and I can still remember her cries of anguish. Almost anyone can relate to this charming book.
