Are diamonds really a girl's best friend? We don't think so, and neither will you after a look at this beautifully illustrated book. With contributions about what their dogs mean to them, over eighty women and girls from diverse backgrounds, ages and countries, share their feelings and experiences of living with dogs today. Not just autobiography, but stories, poetry and photographs. Family dogs, lost dogs, terriers to labradors, each one holding a special place in a woman's heart all over the world. This touching collection is a must for every dog lover.

I found both the stories of the dogs and the backgrounds of their owners equally interesting. There are sociologists, artists, poets, academics, teachers, refuge volunteers, writers, editors, politicians, journalists and heaps more. Wendy Parsons, Chin Wag
