 Pack of Two : The Intricate Bond Between People and Dogs June 23, 2000

I too have read many many books on dogs (and horses) and enjoyed them. I bought Pack of Two expecting just another "nice" book about dogs, but was amazed at how the author hit the nail on the head. I have a 6 year old black lab that I feel EXACTLY the same way about - even though I am in a relationship. This books will help you explain your feelings about your dog to others. It is beautifully written as well and once I started it, I couldn't put it down.
 I have to agree with A. Breyer March 19, 2000

I love a good book about how we love our dogs... BUT this book just isn't a good book. She goes from being an average loving dog owner to some political dog owner nut. Not everyone believes that your dog should have a blue ribbon in obedience to be a good dog. Unfortunately, this is the type of person she basically ended up coming across as. Too bad, it could've been a really good book.

I enjoyed this book a good deal, but I thought Caroline's anecdotal examples were a little more compelling than her own self-analysis. The best parts of the book focused on Lucille, not Caroline. That said, it was nice to have the validation that there are plenty of us out there who consider the dog more than a pet.

So I am not the only one who treats her dog like a child? My Lhasa Apso is 6 mos. and his name is Bailey. For the first time in my life, I actually underlined sentences in a book I was reading for my own enjoyment. I continually nodded my head at the statements that Caroline Knapp made. She is a brilliant author who wrote a story that has been a long time coming. If anyone knows how I can e-mail the author to commend her on her work I would appreciate it. Thank you.

I finally realized I wasn't alone, Caroline Knapp and I share so many feelings. As I sat in my comfortable chair with my dog at my feet I wept with emotion. I thought something was wrong with me because of my obsession with my dog, now I know I'm not alone, there are many of us. This book was such a great self-help book for me as well as funny and inspirational. Thank you Caroline Knapp.
