Here’s a list of the best “dog” books I’ve read recently, in no particular order (other than first, because that’s my all-time favorite).

1. Sight Hound, by Pam Houston
It’s fiction, which I don’t generally care for. But with Houston, it’s always got a real-life base, and this book is a beautiful story about love between (wo)man and “beast”.

2. Marley & Me, by John Grogan
I’m so glad I made my husband read this before we got Greta, because it makes her look so good by comparison! Anyone considering getting a dog should read this worst-case-scenario story.

3. Merle’s Door: Lessons from a Freethinking Dog, by Ted Kerasote
Read my review here.

4. Woman’s Best Friend: Women Writers on the Dogs in Their Lives, edited by Megan McMorris
Short stories from my peeps.

5. Bark If You Love Me: What If Mr. Right Turns Out to Have Four Legs and a Tail?, by Louise Bernikow
Bernikow writes with wit, scarasm and passion about the boxer she found and saved.

6. Dreaming in Libro: How a Good Dog Tamed a Bad Woman, by Louise Bernikow
The sequel to Bark If You Love Me, but you don’t have to read both to get the big picture.

7. What the Dogs Have Taught Me: And Other Amazing Things I’ve Learned, by Merrill Markoe
Not all dog-related stories here, but all with one theme: FUNNY.

8. Dog is My Co-Pilot: Great Writers on the World’s Oldest Friendship, from the editors of The Bark
Writers, including a Ph.D. and a D.V.M., as well as Pulitzer Prize winner and a comedienne, wax poetic about canines.

9. Howl: A Collection of the Best Contemporary Dog Wit, from the editors of The Bark
More stories, most good, some great, some terrible. Read my review here.

10. Why Do Dogs Drink Out of the Toilet?, by Marty Becker, D.V.M., and Gina Spadafori
Answering many of the canine mysteries of the world.

Want any/all of these? I get all my reads here and here.
