    Have you ever had one of those weeks? Of course, you have! We all do every now and again and we need a pick-me-up.

    That was how my week was going last week. And then I got a package from Amazon - this incredibly cute and clever book with incredible dog photos and witty comments about them. I couldn't stop smiling and laughing as I read through the book the first few times. Talk about that pick-me-up I so desperately needed - and at the most opportune time!

    The photos in this book are what makes it all come together. The author, Andrew Darlow, is a renowned professional photographer who really shows his talent for capturing that one moment that is so hard to get any animal to "pose" for - what his camera captures on each page is pure magic!

    I highly recommend this book to read at any time, whether you need a pick-me-up or just a reason to feel good.

    Last night I received my copy of "Biscuit for Your Thoughts?" and after a long and frustrating day sat down to glance at it. I ended up reading it cover to cover in one sitting and it was just what the doctor ordered. The dog version of uplifting quotations (dogtations?), were perfectly paired with fabulous photos to fit the sentiment. There’s nothing like looking into the depths of the soulful eyes of a pug to melt the heart. The photos aren’t just cute pictures of dogs, but really capture their individual personalities while telling the story of the selected quotation. The high quality printing and hardcover binding both look and feel good, adding an extra element to what's on the page. This would be a perfect gift for the dog lover on your list or for someone who just needs a lift.

    This book is an ideal gift for any occassion, especially for dog and animal lovers. The photographs are exquisite and perfectly matched with their captions. The charm is that the dogs have no idea of how beautiful and sometimes amusing we find them. As every entertainer knows, they are scene stealers.

    I got this book as a possible gift, but I'm keeping it for myself. Of course, I'll order more for my friends. I highly recommend this little gem.

    My dog Max liked it also.

His photographs of dogs, whether they are dressed in costumes or looking very natural, are matched perfectly with uplifting quotations. Live Life off the Leash - so inspiring! I bought this book as a gift and decided to keep it for myself.
