YOU HAD ME AT WOOF How Dogs Taught Me the Secrets of Happiness

One needn't be a dog lover to be moved by this charming book. Klam teaches humans how to love and make compromises when necessary through the process of coping with our pets’ needs, quirks, and demands. Klam’s self-deprecating personality is engaging. When we meet her and her first dog, Otto, she's hilarious as she imagines people thinking she can attract only a four-legged companion. Narrator Karen White's spirited delivery enhances the lively text. She perfectly differentiates the many personalities that Julie and her dogs meet in their travels. Klam is a splendid observer, and White delivers, especially when portraying Sharon, an Aussie VIP in Boston terrier circles. S.G.B.
