 Amazingly touching! December 3, 1999
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
A Pack of Two describes a woman who has had struggles with alcohol, emotionally unavailable parents and ultimately their deaths of cancer. Having difficulties relating to people, she adopts a puppy and finds a way to finally create an intimate bond. Although I think she analyzes the dog's emotions a bit too much, I think the dog has helped her analyze her own weaknesses in which she can address them better now. I have a german shepard myself & understand fully how much joy a dog can bring into a person's life. I love my Cleo more than most people I know. I think she did a great job at writing this book & it is one of the best books I have ever read. I hope she does well at her quest for human intimacy.
Wow - That was great October 31, 1999

All I can say is wow. I nodded my head through the entire thing - I totally identified with the stories she told in this book. One reviewer said that this was about people who treated dogs as semi-humans - not so! She's saying that dogs AREN'T humans, by any standards, but its okay to have a fulfilling relationship with them. Don't listen to all those sourfaces out there who poo-poo dog/people relationships - they're just jealous because they haven't found a fulfilling relationship of their own.
Excellent-a must for every dog lover! September 27, 1999

A book that any woman who has ever loved a dog can totally relate to. Very well written and enjoyable reading. Another must-read is "Unforgettable Mutts" by Karen Derrico. It's the most wonderful collection of incredible (but true) dogs stories and photos I've ever seen!
Best dog book I've ever read September 6, 1999
Caroline Knapp's "Pack of Two" is an excellent, easy-to-read story about a single woman and her relationship with her dog, Lucille. They have formed a very strong bond and in the book she explains all its intricacies. She has many antecdotes about other dog lovers, and tries to analyze their relationships as well as her own. I liked this book because it was not wishy-washy, nor filled with a bunch of dull statistics. Read it!
a very perceptive look at human/animal relationships. September 1, 1999
