Why We Love the Dogs We Do: How to Find the Dog That Matches Your Personality
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 3


A lifelong love of dogs has taught me that there is a special chemistry between each dog and his people. I sought this book out specifically to help us select the best possible "match" for our family at this time in our lives, empty nesters with grandkids as frequent visitors. Stanley Cohen "nails it" -- describing in clear and concise terms how and why we connect with particular dogs, how to choose a dog who will both be happy in our home and bring happiness to us who dwell there. With his help, and weeks of "surfing" the available dogs in our local shelters, we found the perfect dog, who's been with us for 4 wonderful years so far. Read it if you love dogs and want to ensure a good match for you and your furry friend.
