Book Review: In Praise of Pooches!
Summary: 5 Stars
If ever there's a "dog person"--Harold Creel is. And he expresses his intense love of and keen insight into the almost immeasurable treasures that dogs are in this exquisitely poignant profile "Do Old Dogs Dream?" Featured are nine canines who all deserve Academy Awards for the roles they have taken on in their lives. Indeed Creel refers to these dogs as his "Cast of Characters" for his book. And characters they are! Nine unique beings! Creel's creative and careful biography of each--in poetic form--captures the defining characteristics of these remarkable creatures. How noble to celebrate canine companions in their sunset years. How blessed their humans have been. How powerful and persuasive the truth that these dogs possess--that love really does conquer all. And that's not just the stuff of dreams. These dogs have personified the power of love indeed. Bravo to Harold Creel to present it in such a book as this.
Summary of Do Old Dogs Dream?
A tender and humorous must-have book for the dog lover - "Do Old Dogs Dream?" is a collection of poems, photographs and illustrations about the canine geriatric set. The baby boomer generation is aging, right alongside our favorite old dogs. Children may grow up and leave the nest, but not these "other children." Our aging lives are enriched by their grace and candor. Hal Creel is an attorney living in Washington, DC and Double Dog Farm in the Blue Ridge mountains. He has two yellow labs, Hank and Rufus, several goats, turkeys, ducks and a bunch of ridiculous looking chickens. The book has been endorsed by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). THE AUTHOR IS DONATING ALL PROFITS FROM THE SALE OF THIS BOOK TO THE RESCUE AND CARE OF OLD DOGS.
