More Books for the Book Hound
We love dogs and we love to read about dogs. That's why in every issue of CityDog Magazine we feature books we love about dogs. Here is our most recent selection:
Dogology by Vicki Croke and Sarah Wilson
Dogology delves into the personalities of dog owners—what they call their dogs, how they praise, what they expect of them and the way they go about showing love— with fun quizzes, psychological insight and humor.
Bliss to You: Trixie’s Guide to a Happy Life by Trixie Koontz
Best-selling author Dean Koontz’s dog Trixie became well-known as a guest blogger on Dean’s Web site, and now she returns to share her inspiring outlook on life—“Love and sausage are alike. Can never have enough of either.”—and the eight steps anyone can take to achieve not merely happiness, but bliss.
Woof! Writers on Dogs edited by Lee Montgomery
This collection of original essays by acclaimed writers include Abigail Thomas’ hilarious struggle to sleep in a king-size bed with three dogs, Michelle Latiolais’ attempt to get her mother-in-law to swear by naming her bull terrier “Damned Spot,” and Rick Bass’ tale about the week his hunting dog, Point, was given a fatal prognosis.
To the Dogs by Peter Culley
To the Dogs explores the human–canine connection with historical and contemporary photographs in ways that are alternately surprising, endearing, disturbing and beautiful, and an essay by Culley discusses the international citizenry of dogs, and why they can tell us more about our cultures than we care to admit.

Dog-Ku by Steve Marsh
