Why read it?
1 author picked Starter Dog as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
When Rona Maynard’s husband of nearly 50 years said one evening, “Let’s get a dog,” she was inclined to say, “Let’s not.” Indeed, as an online review of Starter Dog notes, this book is “an irresistible tale of reluctant dog ownership full of heart, humor, and wisdom.”
It’s all that and more. And so, as a person who loves to read books about dogs, I was delighted to come across this one.
Maynard writes beautifully (no surprise she was Editor In Chief at Chatelaine for 20 years), hence it is not only the captivating tale itself but also her way…
From Martha's list on the eclectic reader of nonfiction.
