TRUE DOG LOVER'S DELIGHT!  
 
Charming, fun, cute, adorable are all words which can be used to describe this wonderful little book.  
It is a collection of 101 well-chosen pictures of dogs with a descriptive word or phrase as the title of each picture.  
 
The book is divided into four loosely grouped themes. First is titled "in and around the house" and is composed of 24 pictures.  
Second is "as playmates", 22 pictures.  
Next is "as tireless helper", 28 pictures, Last is "and specialty uses", 27 pictures.  
 
There are a myriad of breeds, but not surprisingly given their popularity and photogenic qualities, golden retreivers and black labs are most heavily represented.  
 
All different sizes and ages appear, and in fact one of the really nice pairings is the juxtaposition of "someone to grow up with" followed by "someone to grow old with".  
 
Some of the other entries familiar to any dog owner or fan are "gardener" (and the related "landscaper"), "exercise partner" and not surprisingly the classic "rescuer".  
(Guess which breed?)  
 
There are also such clever poses as the "weathervane" and the "water quality specialist".  
 
It is hard to choose a favorite, but I would probably chose "surrogate sister" although the "lookout" , the "bellhops", the "partners-in-crime " and "playing hide and seek' are close runnersup.  
 
This is a wonderful book to keep on a coffee table or in a reading basket.  
Your guests will enjoy perusing it and you will want to just pick it up from time to time when you want to look at something that will quickly elict a smile.  
 
Note that is very small, but the size is appropriate for the format.
