Product Description: The bestsellling author of A Year in Provence and Hotel Pastis now surveys his territory from a differnt vantage point: the all-fours perspective of his dog, Boy--"a dog whose personality is made up of equal parts Boswell and Dr. Johnson, Mencken and A. A. Milne" (Chicago Sun-Times). Enhanced by 59 splendidly whimsical drawings by Edward Koren.
Excellent Shape! The book arrived quickly and was in absolutely excellent shape, as promised. I was giving it as a gift, so had needed a book that was like new. I was told this book was just like new and indeed it was. They also sent the book out extremely quickly. I was more than impressed and would do business with them again.
I adore Boy! If you are a dog-lover this is a must-read. If you just like to read--this is a must-read! Wonderful accounts in the dog's perspective which makes some to-the-point, and hilarious observations. The is one to read over and over again because it makes me smile all the time.
My favorite Peter Mayle book!! A Dog's Life should be read once a year...whether you need to or not! It will brighten your day!!
defintely a mutt read To curl up on yer favorite straw and read up on innocence, this is what life is really like on the fours, when the wind do be howling, and the pavement is like sausages bubbling on the hearth, begob, there is nothing like a really good bone and a nice front to back shake after a bit of the old dew and the fur tangly whiskey colored, stinking to high heaven, and the constable on his bicycle busting the door down about some traffic crime...but I bet you dont know anyhting BOUT THAT DO YOU?
Not entertaining Disappointed. I loved the 'Encore Provence' and 'Year in France' so I ordered a bunch more, this was a real turn off to me. Maybe I just don't like this dog. Quite frankly I find him pompous. I usually relate to dogs quite well. The perspective feels strained, I got tired of it quickly.
