review 1: Loved this book. Why not, it is pictures of dogs being dogs. I have not met many dogs I didn't like. This is a great book of secret confessions of dogs. LIke: One dog said "I steal out of the bins at pet stores." I've had that experience. Suzy's dog Princess loved to beg the girls at Feeders Supply for pig ears. This is a picture books about all the things dogs secretly do. It is very funny and very poignant.
review 2: Reviewed by Me for TeensReadToo.comAlthough not a die-hard dog lover, I've been around enough dogs in my life to appreciate their finer (and not-so-fine) attributes. Ms. Moustaki has done an excellent job of putting together a book that captures the true insights and feelings of both our canine companions and their owners. Think of DOGFE... moreSSIONS as POSTSECRET for dogs. Just as POSTSECRET came about as the result of thousands of postcards mailed anonymously to a website, DOGFESSIONS happened the same way. Based on the website readers sent in postcards filled with photographs, illustrations, headlines, and confessions centering around man's best friend. Some "dogfessions" are laugh-out-loud funny, such as the poor dog dressed up in a Halloween costume with the caption: "They told me dressing up would be fun. It was a web of lies." Some are heartbreakingly sad, while others manage to be both sad and uplifting: "Somebody dropped him off to be euthanized. He was just 6 months old. We've had him for 10 years now. They don't know he is still alive...I hope they still feel guilty." Others, however, are a little disturbing: "When no one's watching...I eat poo," and "I think I kiss the dogs more than I kiss my husband." Overall, though, DOGFESSIONS is a book sure to delight the humans who care for these wonderful animals. The fact that a portion of the proceeds from sales of the book are benefiting two charities, Petfinder Foundation and the Sabbath Memorial Dog Rescue Center, is a nice added bonus. less
