With dogs as his inspiration, Mark Asher has produced several bestselling books (All That Ails You, Humphrey Was Here). Now, this one-time lyricist of pop songs has given birth to a batch of dog poems. The author's compassion and admiration for our four-legged companions fills this book with many poignant moments. But it is equally balanced with whimsy. Try reading the poem about the man who wakes up as a Great Dane ("Embracing The Unforeseen") or the one about the first dog astronauts ("The Beagles Have Landed") without smiling.
If you love dogs, Canine Rhymes is a heartfelt and humorous collection of animal poetry that will deepen your appreciation for the furry ones in your life. It makes a great gift book for a fellow dog lover or a treasured keepsake.
