Product Description

From the Author
I'm looking for your dog & cat stories for my next books!
The inspiring lesson writing "Mutts" taught me is that Everyone is E.B. White when they write about their best friends. So I'm now looking for emotionally powerful dog and cat stories for two new Bantam Books, pet versions of "Chicken Soup for the Soul". Authors will receive a byline, bio and fame for their best friend. E-mail me your stories or write to P.O. Box 157, Wenonah, N.J. 08057.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a book for the rest of us!, 27 Feb 1999
By A Customer
If you are the owner or a fan of mixed breed dogs, you've scoured the shelves for a volume that covers your interest, probably with little success. This book addresses that shortcoming, and does it with grand style and a lot of good humour. I was originally skeptical, wondering how anyone could write a book about dogs that are always different from the next, but Kilcommons pulls it off. Packed with photos, celebrity mutts, descriptions of various 'blends' and some helpful training info, I found a lot to like and learn here. Easy to read, and a great book to have lying about when your purebred-owning friends stop by. It made me proud to have my wonderful mongrel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, well-research, heartwarming book, 5 Sep 1998
By A Customer
This is a must read for those who would love to know what kinds of behaviors to expect with mixed breed dogs. Also, the authors explain how to choose a dog or puppy from a pound. I loved the facts, stories and layout of the book. It was a quick read, highly entertaining and a must read for all who love dogs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely a book my dog would approve of!, 3 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This book solidified my desire to bypass dogs with fancy "brand names" and go to my local shelter to pick up a mutt. The statement that eight million mutts are killed each year because no one wants them made me determined to save a dog from being killed. I am now the proud owner of a lovely mutt-of-all-mutts. Both her parents are suspected to be mutts, and she's a mix of so many breeds we can't even figure out what might be in her heritage.

I loved this book because it didn't just tell you to get a mutt, it told you why mutts are the logical choice. It pointed out reasons such as better health, goodwill, and it provided countless examples of hero mutts. This book would make any mutt owner proud of owning one and many purebred owners envious. My favorite story in the book was about "Susan and Joe," the tale of a Great Dane-German Shepherd who helps a multiple sclerosis inflicted woman lead a normal life. Very heartwarming!

Toward the end of the book there are some chapters that tell you how to select a dog and how to stop some common behavior problems. The advice offered there does not go into great detail, though. You'll certainly need some other books to help you raise a mutt, but this book offers a good start.

Finally, the book contained great pictures and was set up in a way that was easy to read and definitely not boring. The print was fairly large, and the book was separated into many sections so you could easily find your way through it. The book was also humorous at times, making for a very enjoyable read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book on the great American mutt.
Mutts (not "politically correct" but so endearing) make up the largest portion of the American dog population but not much of dog books. Read more
