Book Reviews of A Dog Year: Twelve Months, Four Dogs, and Me
Book Review: A bad example
Summary: 1 Stars
I simply can't understand why people like this book. Probably it just serves as a justification of their own clueless ways to deal with dogs.
The man is just reckless, his "training" methods are borderline animal abuse and I despise him for pretending his dog was a service dog (ok, the author even doesn't know the difference between service and therapy dog) in order to "take him places".
I don't care about his writing style, the book is just embarrassing.
Summary of A Dog Year: Twelve Months, Four Dogs, and Me
Sometimes, change comes on four legs.In his popular and widely praised Running to the Mountain, Jon Katz wrote of the strength and support he found in the massive forms of his two yellow Labrador retrievers, Julius and Stanley. When the Labs were six and seven, a breeder who'd read his book contacted Katz to say she had a dog that was meant for him-a two-year-old border collie named Devon, well bred but high-strung and homeless. Katz already had a full canine complement-but, as he writes, "Change loves me. . . . It comes in all forms. . . . Sometimes, change comes on four legs." Shortly thereafter he brought Devon home. A Dog Year shows how a man discovered much about himself through one dog (and then another), whose temperament seemed as different from his own as day from night. It is a story of trust and understanding, of life and death, of continuity and change. It is by turns insightful, hilarious, and deeply moving.
