    • A wonderful collection
The book contains a variety of short stories by authors from all different eras from the New Yorker's gloried past, and altho they all include a dog in some way, they're not "doggie stories" but are more sophisticated and varied than that. And of course there are some cartoons mixed in as well. A great book for any reading dog lover. ... show more

    • Dogs and The New Yorker, a great combination
I am a sucker for most things that deal with dogs, and then add the New Yorker, makes for a witty, sly, funny combination. Everything in this book is sourced from the monumental material printed over the years from the New Yorker, a treasure trove of all things smart, funny, socially relevant. Some of the best cartoons on social commentary ever printed come from the New Yorker, and the best cartoons about dogs and our relationship with them. (My favourite cartoon is by Charles Addams, page 247, few are better than he.) It also contains wonderful essays by John Cheever, Ronald Dahl, Ogden Nash, Anne Sexton and many others. A great addition for any book lover, or gift for a dog lover, and if you are both, even better! ... show more

    • A fun compilation of stories, poems, drawings, etc.
This is a good gift for dog lovers of all ages. The red cover attracted my attention first; the book looked especially festive as a Christmas gift. It induced big smiles when unwrapped!

    • Fun for dog lovers
This is a beautiful coffee table book which dog lovers will enjoy. Full of fine New Yorker cartoons, and it has most of the classic Thurber dog stories (as well as many of his dog cartoons). Some very interesting articles - especially loved the one on the "Dog Whisperer" Cesar giving his life as well as lots of tips on handling dogs (which work, I found out). Beautifully bound and printed, its great for browsing. One cavil - its size makes it a little awkward for bed reading. ... show more

    • Lots of short stories about dogs
This is the most expensive kindle book I own. I just think $19.99 is to expensive. As a dog lover I thought this book was for me. Some of the stories were good but some were a bit dull.

    • New Yorker short stories
I found this purchase such a bargain that I purchased two books. One for me and one for a dear friend. My hope is that we both can read the short stories and write back and forth. I live in NJ and he lives in PA. However, reader be aware, most New Yorker short stories are downers. I read the first story and family pet dog dies. Just so you know, the New Yorker prides it self in not liking feel good literature. LOL. The books arrived on time and in excellent condition. ... show more

    • Made a great gift
My 86 year old Mother has had dogs all her life. She's also a person that's very hard to buy for as she's pretty much got everything she needs and then some. It was nice to see her smile when she opened this for her birthday in January. Of course, the New Yorker is witty and smart sot that was just an added bonus to getting a book about dogs. ... show more

    • Good Book, Wrong Format
I've thoroughly enjoyed the short stories and cartoons in this book so I'm not going to ding it on content. But I do have a tip: don't get the Kindle version. It really doesn't lend itself very well to Kindle, it's more of a book to thumb through stopping here and there when something catches your eye. To really see the cartoons you'll need to use the Kindle app on a computer or iPad, they're not so great in small black & white. At this point I'm not going to spring for a hard copy but I'm really sorry I didn't get that in the first place. ... show more
