review 1: I may be biased because I am a huge fan of Steven Winn as an interviewer at City Arts & Lectures (that man could interview a dead battery and keep me entertained- and I seriously love his soothing voice), and I also love dogs, but this was really a very fun read and well-written, too. I can imagine the same book written by a less skilled journalist, and I can imagine the review I would write, saying that while the story is charming, it would have made a better article or essay than an entire book; but Winn manages to maintain the charm and easy flow throughout- I never got tired of Como's antics at all, which is more than I can say of many protagonists who should (in theory) be more compelling than a dog.
review 2: I always enjoy a good book about pets and the
... moreir owners. This was a fun book to read. It kind of reminded me a little of Marley and Me, except this one ended on a happy note. It is about a dog, Como, that they rescued from an animal shelter. After they got it home they found out it had some serious problems, especially around men, or at least around the man of the house. He was a bit destructive, to say the least. I don't know if I could have dealt with his nasty behavior, but, the family did with a nice happy ending. less

This was a very cute book and Como reminded me of my first dog, Fisher and my second dog, Charlotte.

Most people who've ever had a dog can relate to this story. I loved it.
