Product Description
They may be known as man's best friend, but as the writers in this poignant, funny, and dramatic collection know, there's no gender divide when it comes to canines. Whether walking down the street, gathering at the dog park, hitting the open road, or spending one too many nights together on the couch in front of the TV, a woman and her dog are an enduring pair. And there are many who consider their dogs to be members of their family and themselves to be full-fledged dog moms, even if they're single.
From the family dog who takes on the anxiety of a family as the writer's sister battles breast cancer, to the compelling tale of a woman searching for her furry friend in the aftermath of September 11th, to the blind and deaf dog who teaches everyone about keeping on truckin' no matter what predicaments she gets into, the essays in this anthology get at the heart of love — and yes, sometimes love-hate-relationships women have with the dogs in their lives.

 Funny Title, but OK!, 2008-07-24
Woman?? ha ha ha. I thought woman's best friends were......??? MEN! Read this book written by woman~! IT is funny indeed. This book totally twist things around and forcefully put it into an woman's wants and needs, controlling and demanding from Men's best friend. Dog (Canine). :-( I wish this book was about Cat (feline) for woman........would have done a better JOB.

Good for a rainy day, or any day. , 2008-04-21
These short stories cover about as much doggy-owner ground as you could hope for. Know up front that you won't love them all equally, and that some of them will seem repeats (a lot like the other owners at the dog park on a Saturday afternoon, really). Judgemental types like me might grind their teeth at some of these owner's behaviors/irresponsibilities, but you'll find yourself somewhere in this book. You'll giggle, you'll cry, you'll finish and think -- "hey, I should write a story about my dog".

Almost 5 Stars..., 2007-10-22
I enjoyed this book a lot since it was written by women writers. Also, each of the writers had very different stories so I did not feel like I was reading the same story from chapter to chapter. As another reviewer stated, I also appreciated the fact that these stories were not overly sappy. Although I did appreciate that the stories definitely seemed true, I was shocked that one writer actually admitted to beating her dog, following her sister's advice. In the same realm, although I appreciated the writer's honesty, I could not believe that a writer actually wrote that she did not miss her dog once it passed away. I just did not feel that these stories should have been included in a book titled "Woman's Best Friend". Otherwise, I enjoyed the book very much and would have given it 5 stars.

 Okay, 2007-06-05
The best part of this book was honestly the cover. The content inside was pretty good but not fabulous. There was one story, I admit, that almost brought me to tears, but other than that, it wasn't what I would call great literature. Others might like it more, maybe it's just me.
