Thank you for such a heartwarming review. The story reminds me of my sister's dogs, all delightfully playful and lovable. This is one book I want to read just to enjoy Pogo's gift of happiness to the author.

This book sounds like a really fun tale of Bonzai, Pogo, and the people they interact with. My mother does the same thing with the television! Thanks for a great review, I really enjoyed reading it. You convinced me that I must read this book.

Living with animals is therapeutic. I guess living with a trained dog like Pogo is just far more amazing. Dog lovers may enjoy reading this book.

Even if pets are forced on you when they are truly lovable, you can't help but grudgingly like them. It seems that Pogo's Tale is not only for pet and dog lovers. I think though there is something vague about the last paragraph, the fourth sentence. I wonder what the reviewer wants to say about the girl. Otherwise, I think it's a good review.

The illustration on the cover of Pogo's Tale, The Life of a Therapy Dog by Linda Lutes, is the familiar face of mongrels in my country. Our family cares for six dogs of various breeds and one of them looks like Pogo. I have no reason to doubt the Amazon summary on this book, a heartwarming tale of a therapy dog who delights in watching TV and has all the energy to assist in caring for people who are sick and recovering. Reviewer desantismt_17 calls the book "charming," and describes Pogo as "wickedly smart and full of energy," and therefore, the rightful star of a book such as this. I'm also glad that the anecdotes are really amusing and that the writing by Ms Lutes is "fluid and beautiful." For those who have dogs in their homes and are planning to have one, Pogo's Tale is an inspiring, encouraging book about man's best friend.

I sampled the book on Amazon. Linda Lutes mentions the wonderful benefits of keeping a dog as a pet from her personal life experience. As mentioned in the review by Desantismt_17, this book will be loved by dog-lovers and also anyone who wants a feel-good read. Cheers! :)
