Dogs love unconditionally, unlike some humans I know. Dogs will make you smile and feel loved without fail, unlike the promises of humans I know. In short, you can never go wrong with dogs, expect love all the way! Dog lovers must be celebrating with books like these! Congrats!

I'm a sucker for dog books, and even though I'm more of a fiction reader, I couldn't help but be drawn to this one. I've had experience in the rehabilitation field and therapy dogs were such a help to our clients. This sounds like such a heartwarming read and the stories about Pogo are simply precious. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts!

Thanks for the enthralling review. This is a wonderful book that I need to read. I am glad for the opportunity accorded to read it through the free copy of the book. The stories sound entertaining and informative as well.

I love that therapy dogs are becoming more prevalent in patient care because people go through traumatic situations in their lives. The best examples I can think of are the dogs that went to Boston after the bombings and the dogs that go to schools after the shootings. I think that the author including a wide variety of stories about her patients makes it easier for the reader to connect with her book.

This book with title as Pogo's Tale: The Life of a Therapy Dog by Linda Lutes is the story of a therapy dog Pogo and her antics. The activities of Pogo like running to greet the mailman and receive a treat, and bringing back both mail and treat are very much heartwarming to read. Dog lovers will very much like this book and enjoy the reading the stories about the funny activities of Pogo.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

I love dogs (and animals in general) so a heartwarming book about a dog is right up my alley. It sounds like a fun book to read and your review has definitely convinced me to give it a go.

Pogo’s Tale: the dog should be a good dog for her to have around the house. With it being a therapy dog it may can help her out with things as well.

This review is quite similar to my own opinion. As a dog owner whose dog is also spunky yet bright, it's always a pleasure to read about other people who are not shy to share their animal stories. This review is insightful and provides a great foundation for future readers. Linda's story captures emotion beautifully and was a wonderful read. The above review left me a happy reader, had I read it prior to reading the story I feel that I would have been even more anxious to start reading.

This review really portrayed the characters and gave me a good sense of Pogo’s personality without giving away any spoilers which is an art form in itself. I even found myself chuckling at some of the anecdotes, particularly the one about how their grandfather also would fall asleep watching Tv but wake up and declare that he was ‘watching that’ if anyone tried to turn it off. It reminded me of my family! It sounds like a truly heartwarming tale and I look forward to reading it, having just downloaded it myself.

Ok, you sold me, I have to read this book now! LoL ^_^ This book seems like it has a lot to it and will be a wonderful read. Being an animal lover, and my dog like my daughter, I can only imagine how special Pogo was to the author! I can't wait to read the stories about Pogo!
