Yellowdog

This is a pictorial history of the author's love affair with her Golden Retrievers. The "story" is about 30 pages and the pictures about 50 or so. The story will grab you in your gut and hit you right in the heart of how you feel about your current (or former) Golden Retriever. The story about the cover photo is especially moving. For a non "how-to" book, this one is THE BEST!

My daughter bought me this book for Christmas two years ago. I haven't been able to read more than a few pages before I have to put it away. It is too moving. I know I will return to it after my 13 year old Golden has gone.

if you or anyone you know has lost a golden, there is no excuse for not buying this book. i have never found anything that could help me so much through the most difficult time in my life.thank you debra.

What a gorgeous ode to Goldens. Having been a Golden lover for almost my entire life, but unable to own one (due to age, and life with my parents) this book broke my heart - more than once. I would recommend this to anyone who adores Goldens, dogs in general, or even has a dog - it will definitely make you appreciate your life.

two years ago our golden charlie was four and full of life...i received the book yellowdog for christmas...i glanced at the pictures and read the first page and wept.....i could not imagine my life without my golden boy, my chunkamunka.i set the book aside. this past february after a nine month battle with lymphosarcoma we had to put charlie to sleep. i was devastated. my daughter told me to read the book." it will help mom." i did. debra marlin has in words and pictures captured the feelings that i have been only able to express in a downpour of tears. it is a wonderful story of love, i wish i could talk with her....this book is a must have for any pet owner.
