[.ca] The Tao of Maggie: The Sound of One Hound Barking (ISBN 0740738577)

Wonderfully Funny:
I would recommend this to book to any dog lover. I picked up this book on the way out of the store, and couldn't put it down. I had to go back and buy it. This is a a gem of a book, and I'm sure you'll treasure the sage wisdom of this floppy eared philosopher.

This is a Gem:
I'm a 30-year Basset lover and this book is one of the best. It's charming, funny and so very, very true. Bill Stanton is a master of getting just the right words to describe his hilarious (and superb) photos of Maggie, his now-11-year old Basset (check out the bagel pic and the one about "patience".). ALL Basset lovers should own this book (and his first one, "Maggie's Way"). I've given many as gifts and they are always a hit (also they're reasonably priced).

Each page is a poster worth a thousand words and tears:
I lost my "Maggie" this year. I was so sad but Bill Stanton captures the essence of this wonderful species and let me grieve and laugh at the same time. What a wonderful book. You don't have to love Bassett Hounds to read this. But if you lose your Bassett be sure to get this book. Bill Stanton needs to get posters on the market for us. Each photo is a gem.
