Funny! A dysfunctional family and talking dogs - what's not to love? The dog dialogue had me laughing out loud numerous times. A light read that I would highly recommend to any animal lover - or to anyone else who wonders what dogs would say if they could talk!

I picked this book up beacue the main canine character was a pit-bull mix and I'm a sucker for anything pit. It was an odd read but I really enjoyed it and finished it in a day. I suggest it for any dog lover.

In this comic novel, a young woman who has lost her way in life is suddenly able to understand what dogs are trying to say to her. The dogs speak to her in full sentences, and they have conversations. Her adopted pit mix Chuck sometimes complicates but mostly helps with her deal with love and work.
I did not enjoy this book as much as I had hoped. The interactions with the dogs are hilarious, and it is clear that the author loves dogs. However, the protagonist's story is typical chicklit and very predictable - girl is in love with loser guy who mistreats her and can't appreciate the guy friend waiting in the wings, girl is at a career crossroads and struggles with money, girl has a wacky sister... you get the picture.

So much fun to read! Zany, colorful characters, both human and canine. Written like a memoir with real events, but with hilarious spins. I could not put it down. Great entertainment!

I really liked this book. Having a dog in the family, I could imagine him saying some of the things that the dogs in the book did. This is one of the few books that made my laugh out loud while reading.
