This week’s theme list is dedicated to my beloved Juno, who brightened my days for nearly eighteen years. I have not read all of the titles on the list, but did research the ones I have not read to verify whether or not they might be worth a book club’s time… Feel free to add any titles I missed in the comments, too!
Be sure to check out the first six posts in this series, too:

Fantastic list – thank you! I did a similar post a few months ago, but didn’t come up with nearly as many as you did: http://thenewdorkreviewofbooks.blogspot.com/2010/08/dog-book-post.html
Because so many commenters mentioned The Art of Racing in the Rain, I read it a few weeks ago, and absolutely loved it!
You could add A Three Dog Life by Abigail Thomas to your list of dog books. Well written, interesting short little book.
Rick Bass’ book Colter is a marvelously written dog book. I highly recommend it.
I did, too, Greg! I thought Rain would feel “gimmicky” but really enjoyed it…
Thank you, Lynne and Kristen! I will add your recommendations ASAP!
Highly recommend and suggest this book is added:
Real Dogs Don’t Whisper
Very well written, a true story about special need dogs and the life lessons that they have taught their owner. And, the book is co-authored by one of the dogs, Mr MaGoo; he is hysterical, and always enthralling.
