A very enjoyable read!

The author has an ease with which he writes about his beloved dog, Pat. His descriptions bring you into the setting, and flow from one to the next. Absolutely enjoyable, a treat for anyone who has had a special animal companion in their life.

If you enjoy fine writing and tales about the dog/human interface, this is a good choice! I chose the words 'interface' specifically because we can not know our canines but from a human perspective. Their reporting on their relationship might be very different indeed! But as an adopter of a 4 yr old abused dog, I found it interesting to read about a mature dog who chose his humans, and how the humans sought to know and develop and relationship with him. This is a wonderful story of a century past, as well, with a flow of daily life not to be found these days.

Greet read,I've had four dogs,they all had something special and I loved them. Pat brought back so many great memories. Thanks
