Dogfessions

Nikki Moustaki's wonderful book, Dogfessions, is a must for anyone who loves dogs. Even those who aren't dog people will find something to love in this wonderful collection of photos and captions from owners who know their own dogs only too well and are happy to share their dogs "confessions," or *dog* fessions in this case. It's a great book to leave out for guests to browse and is the ideal gift for dog owners.

Only if you have a sincere and devoted love for the dogs in your life could you possibly understand and enjoy this book by Nikki Moustaki. When your dog looks at you with that intense gaze of love, what might he really be thinking? Does he know that he is guilty of a garbage-related crime in your kitchen, or is he just playing dumb (and cute!)? What are the secret confessions of both dogs and their people? Do you tell your dogs your most secret of secrets? Do your dogs know more about you than your own spouse or psychiatrist? Well, the secret confessions of both dogs and their humans are all here and presented in such an amazingly cute and inventive way with photos, illustrations and collages that the real dog lover will instantly recognize the truth here, even though others may definitely not. It's also nice to know that Harper Collins made a donation to dog-friendly charities in honor of Dogfessions -- a most wonderful book to own and give as a gift for the other dog-lovers in your circle.

What a wonderful book-I now realise I am not the only Doggy Mad person.All the photos were very fetching and even have some myself like them.So other people talk to their dogs too and tell them secrets-just like me.Unless you are a dog lover don't buy this as it takes a special kind of person to understand the true feelings spoken about in this book.It's a great fun book and you would never fail to laugh at the contents.The book would put you in great form if you were feeling down.I will be buying a few more copies for my Doggy Mad Friends.Ps I REALLY loved the comment in the book about the girl/women who kisses her dog more than her husband.TOUCHE!!

This book is so much fun. It features postcards made by dog lovers with confessions about their dogs or confessions from their dogs. Lots of great photos. Hardback. Am buying more for gifts.

This is a unique collection of the best photos (each with an amusing phrase) submitted to the Dogfessions website. A "Dogfession" is a confession by a dog, or about a dog. They are almost all either very funny or quite touching and I really enjoyed them. It's a coffee table book, so don't look for substance or facts here, look for laughter, heart-warming phrases and lots of cute (very cute) dog photos. No posed professional photos here, these were really sent in by loving owners (OK I confess I sent one, but I don't know the author nor do I get any payment except the fun of telling friends "Lacey's in a book.") If you are a dog-lover you'll totally get the concept of this book. (If you aren't, you might still like the fun photos.) I laughed out loud at lots of the Dogfessions, but what surprised me most was how easy it was to identify with the touching "dogfessions" of other dog-lovers. Phrases like: "I told my dog I was pregnant before I told my husband." or "I missed a date just to stay home and watch my puppy sleep." are easily understood by those of us who are "owned" by our dogs. The only negative I found is that the printer put a few of the photos across two pages and that took away from the impact of those shots, but it was only a few. A couple of people who did not know my dog was in the book, recommended it to me, so there are some unbiased reviews. I may be biased, but I still recommend it highly. It makes a great gift for any dog-lover.
