Review # 1 was written on 2013-08-01 00:00:00 Jarrod Dee Okay--I'm a mutt. Most of my friends are mutts. President Obama was dignified enough to use the word "mongrel" when describing his own mixed genetic background, but c'mon, Americans--that's what most of us are, regardless of which word you use. No wonder that Americans love mutts! While we often favor a certain breed or breeds of purebred canines (I'm convinced there's a basenji out there with room for my name on his collar), the mongrel animal is what I'd call "a REAL dog". Not foo-foo, not fancy, not bred to any particular set of traits (or birth defects) as are most purebreds, mutts are a glorious expression of nature's indulgence of constant change and unpredictability. One of the features of this book I enjoyed thoroughly was the section on which breeds one is most likely to find in various geographic areas in the nation. If you are one of those people who constantly attempts to figure out just what is in that patchwork, oddly-furred pooch, you'll want to take a look at those pages. Suddenly, you can see the pit bull and the labrador retriever behind that wide but soulful face!

Review # 2 was written on 2009-08-12 00:00:00 Hj Hejjj This is a nice little book on an interesting topic. We need to celebrate the "average" dog and this book has great topics (not always fully developed) and a stream of consciousness approach that I took as permission to browse and jump to my heart's content. Illustrations are nicely done and add to the experience.
