 Dogs Never Lie About Love Simply Outstanding! November 11, 2008
Harry Meeth
Dogs Never Lie about Love is a truly outstanding insight into the unique personality traits and emotions of dogs, particularly their need for human companionship and seemingly limitless capacity for love of their owners for love's own sake. It also describes the many things we can learn from our dogs to change our own behavior--unconditional love, patience, loyalty, gratitude, joy, living in the present moment, and, of course, affection--just to name a few. I've had dogs all my life and thought that I knew something about them. While some of my observations were confirmed, I learned a whole lot. This book is a must read for all dog lovers and those who would like to be one.
 Worth reading for any dog lover or person thinking of owning a dog August 22, 2008

This is a wonderful book full of the life the embodies the love of the dog. Unfortunately, I felt the last few chapters of the book fell apart and were not as cohesive as the other chapters. It was unfortunate--almost felt like the author was making a deadline.

Author really demonstrates his knowledge of an appreciation for the love that dogs give unconditionally and fully. He nails it with insights, evidence, and examples. I don't understand why some people were so critical of this book. Love is the emotion. They love us and we love them. We have much to learn about caring for ourselves, other people, and these wonderful creatures.
If you want to know more about the how and why of the love, take a look at the book mentioned below. I enjoyed it, too, and it provides some surprising insights and valuable, usable information. It discusses the origin and comprehensive nature of our relationships with animals, providing scientifically sound information on the love we share and the roles we play in each other's lives: The Powerful Bond between People and Pets: Our Boundless Connections to Companion Animals (Practical and Applied Psychology)
Thoughtful, Luminous Book February 21, 2008

Pleasurable reading with thought-provoking questions and reflections about loving non-human companions and how the attention they show us is perhaps more than a simple analog to human emotions. Well-written and concise, filled with great stories, tenderness that didn't indulge sentimentality -- I highly recommend this book.
