Customer Reviews

Genevieve Rocks!

Anyone who owns a dog or is considering acquiring one should read this book. Genevieve shares great insight into the obviously superior mind of a dog. Her tips and secretes have truly helped me become a better human companion. I laughed until I cried at her stories of what canines put up with daily. She is truly delightful and as a bonus, she's so cute!

Settle back with a bowl of water and a good chew toy

I'm usually suspicious of books barktated to humans without assistance from experienced canilinguists, but Dr. Fried seems eminently qualified and adept at putting Genevieve's deep thoughts into layman's words. While the well-known translations into Great Dane, Chihuahua, and Cocker Spaniel are meticulously faithful to the unique colloquialisms of puppy patter, Dr. Fried's edition takes a more scholarly approach, and I must say Genevieve expresses herself eloquently and humorously in this less-advanced mode of communication (English). Fried has gotten the star to open up and divulge celebrity life away from the bright lights and paparazzi; indeed, the reader will gratefully share the doghouse (bring your own newspaper) and beg for scraps from Genevieve's table of gossip. A hilarious gift for dog lovers and anyone who likes to laugh!

Genevieve is AWESOME!

A great book for any dog lover. She tells us humans what we need to know to live in a dog's world. I found myself chuckling out loud at many parts. Hard to put down and would totally recommend it to anyone. Thanks Genevieve!

Laugh Out Loud!

This book is a must read for any dog lover. Genevieve tells it like it is; even though us humans might not want to hear it. I found myself literally laughing out loud, and couldn't put this book down! I highly recommend this book, you will not be disappointed!
