What the Dogs Have Taught Me
This book is so freakin' funny I almost can't stand it. The back of my head aches from laughing. All her writing is perfect. She's the kind of girl you want to hang out with so you start sounding like her after a while.

I read this after reading "Walking in Circles before Lying Down" by Markoe which is hysterical. Particularly if you are a dog person. In "What the Dogs have Taught Me" each chapter is a little story, which makes it a great bathroom book or something to pick up just before dozing off. Very funny.

I bought TWO copies of this - - one for me - - I LOVE Merrill's work, and one for a friend who was home recuperating from knee surgery. We shared our thoughts on her funniest essays! A winner!
What the Dogs Have Taught Me
I received this book as a gift. I really looked forward to reading it since I love dog stories. I was disappointed that not all the stories (or even half of the stories) were about her beloved pets. But, nonetheless, I enjoyed reading it (even the non-dog stories) and will read more of her work.

If you're a dog-lover, you will appreciate the humor. It's not as good as the one with a title about Walking in Circles Before Lying Down.
What the Dogs Have Taught Me
As a great fan of dog stories, I had enjoyed one of this author's tales excerpted in a dog story anthology, and thought that I might relish more of her work. Was I ever WRONG!!! Half or less of the book was related to canines, and then often remotely. Many of her works (this is a compendium of essays) are spoiled by her frequent use of the most vile, crude, and vulgar expletives, always unnecessary and adding nothing to the story. Although humorous on the rarest of occasions, this tome consists mainly of the mindless babblings of the typically self-loathing liberal. Unfit even as a chew toy for your pup!
