Critic reviews
"One needn't be a dog lover to enjoy this well-produced collection, but it will likely turn you into one by the time it's over."
"‘The best dog in the world’ is no doubt how many of us would describe our best furry friends, and with good reason: Dogs are the most wonderful companions. In this essay collection, writers share memories of their "best" dogs and, of course, the results are heartwarming, melancholy, funny, and relatable. Karen Gundersen's performance of the female authors' tales is warm and personable. Her pace and personality bring a lively energy to the varied tributes. Max Meyers, as the voice of the male authors' essays, is equally engaging: their clear, balanced performance allows the sentiments behind each story to shine."
