Book Description
Why do dogs speak so profoundly to our inner lives? When Mark Doty decides to adopt a dog as a companion for his dying partner, he finds himself bringing home Beau, a large golden retriever, malnourished and in need of loving care. Beau joins Arden, the black retriever, to complete their family. As Beau bounds back into life, the two dogs become Mark Doty's intimate companions, his solace, and eventually the very life force that keeps him from abandoning all hope during the darkest days. Their tenacity, loyalty, and love inspire him when all else fails.
Dog Years is a remarkable work: a moving and intimate memoir interwoven with profound reflections on our feelings for animals and the lessons they teach us about life, love, and loss. Mark Doty writes about the heart-wrenching vulnerability of dogs, the positive energy and joy they bring, and the gift they bear us of unconditional love. A book unlike any other, Mark Doty's surprising meditation is radiantly unsentimental yet profoundly affecting. Beautifully written, Dog Years is a classic in the making.
Customer Reviews:
only 1 chapter worth reading.......2007-05-21
This book was not written very well. It could have been so much better.
I did not care for the writing style. Also, there were not enought highlights of the postive and 90% of the book was very depressing.
Eloquent musings on the bond between man and dog..........2007-05-14
Anyone who has had a dog and especially nursed one through the end of its life will savor this book. I defy you to refrain from reaching for the Kleenex!
Dogs occupy a special place and special relationships in our lives. Their shorter life spans guarantee that the relationship will ultimately end up in grief over their passing. You feel half-ashamed grieving over "just a dog," but this memoir legitimizes the depths of those bonds and those feelings.
Dog years...a poet writes.......2007-05-13
It's obvious from reading this book that its author is a professional writer. The details of the book are heartwarming yet not overwhelming and by the end of the book, we care about its characters. The book is a history and is sentimental without bringing the reader to tears. It's told in poetic form with strong images and with caring.
BEAUTIFUL...........2007-05-10
Oh, how I loved this book. I was mesmerized by the beautiful vocabulary and writing style. I appreciated the short details of each dog's passing but still understood it through the beautiful way it's told....One of my new favorites-I LOVED IT! MR.DOTY- if you ever read this-Thank you for a beautiful book and I Hope you got a new dog.
Dog Years.......2007-05-08
I recently lost my dog to cancer and found great comfort in this book. The author weaves a story with both elements of poetic impressions and real life events. He creates a sense of a dog reality that touched me deeply and helped me through a difficult time.

i love this book!.......2007-06-27
i consider myself a movie buff, and this is my bible. this is the fourth edition of this book that i bought, and i will continue to buy one every year. it helps me to choose the movies i watch, and answers the questions that plague me. with the many options for reference (title, category, actor, director, composer, awards), i find this book very easy to use. not only does this book list actors, awards, directors, etc. a description of the film and a rating are included. i freaking love this book! 'nuff said.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh! you must have this book.......2007-05-12
The only short side is that it only produces info for on tape or DVD. Other than that it is a gem. When ever you don't remember an actors name, find the movie or the movie you remember them in and your there.
The bones critic of the film (ergo hound) is very good, a real persons review of the film.
Look for info by genre, title, actor or whatever.
This is a film buffs must and a great conversation starter!
It's ALL Here!!.......2007-03-31
What was Bogart's final film? What was Lizabeth Scott's first film? How many movies did Gregory Peck make? How many movies did Raoul Walsh direct? When did John Wayne die? And what was Vincente Minnelli's final film? Answers below! All this and considerably more movie information is included in the veritable encyclopedia "Golden Movie Retriever". There are fully 929 pages of movie synopses and ratings. Also included are indices on movie writers, cinematographers, composers and categories -how many Zorro movies are there? (13!). There are over 30 pages of major awards- and even a section on alternate titles! Apparently, "Summer Stock" may also called "If You Feel Like Singing"! It could easily take a lifetime to mine the nuggets here. The only possible weakness to GMR is the paper cover, which should be well worn very quickly. Answers to the questions above are: "The Harder They Fall" (1956); "The Strange Love of Martha Ivers" (1946); 49 (count `em!); 43; 1979 and "A Matter of Time" (1976). What's not to like? There is absolutely nothing for a movie fan to ponder here. Hit hat "Add to Cart" button now!
All About Films - Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever 2007.......2007-03-19
Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever 2007 is the most comprehensive book on films that I've found. I checked several books on the subject in stores and even bought one(sight unseen)from a bargain book source. Golden Movie Reviewer topped them all. It has everything from titles, stars, directors and award winners well indexed and easy to use. And the price is right too.
This Dog Really Hunts!.......2007-03-10
VideoHound's Golden Movie Retriever is THE sourcebook for movie buffs. Comprehensive, informative, frequently amusing, and packed with reviews of more movies than you could view in a lifetime...if you're a celluloid junkie, this is a great fix! Ten out of 5 bones! VideoHound also has several titles that are genre-specific (i.e., Cult, Indie, Horror, Asian, etc.).

Customer Reviews:
It's good, and very informational..........2007-02-14
This reference book was really informational. It did however focus a lot of it on a golden retreiver puppy or how to take care of one. If you already have a grown golden retriever, I don't think this book is right for you, but it's still good at looking at health tips and information.
There are a lot of instances in the book where the author makes her own comments, as if she is talking. If that will bother you, then don't get this book.
It's a really good book if you are deciding to get a Golden Retriever puppy or new dog because it gives you fundamental things to know for taking care of a puppy or new dog coming home. I think a person should read this book before getting a dog or golden retriever because it does help educate you to learn more on the breed. However, this book is mostly generalized stuff that you can already search on the internet or online resources.
I think this book was very helpful, so I think you should get it if you have no idea on how to take care of a dog.
See ya!
Good Book.......2007-02-10
Alot of puppy info which I didn't need since my dog is now an adult. I think there is no doubt this book has something for all Retriever owners. A must have for your library.
Book for dummies........2006-08-10
This book is for dummies. That is true. The thing is that after reading this book you are still dummy. That what's the point in reading it?
A MUST HAVE!!.......2006-07-11
I had planned on using this book as a quick reference when I bought it a few days ago, but instead it was so well written that I read the entire book already. Very informative and really held my interest. I am re-reading certain parts again.
Useful Information!.......2005-09-01
This brook provided us with a great deal of useful information. We had an abundance of love for our new four legged friend; yet our family did not have a clue about raising her!! In my opinion, this book is more than beneficial in learning more about Golden Retrievers.

Good Training Book on Goldens.......2000-05-01
Easy to read book with lots of color pictures of goldens in every day life. Well organized. Helpful hints in blue boxes that catch your attention. Goldens are smart dogs who can easily think of things to do when bored; book has helpful information on counteracting this problem. Would recommend this book as a good first book for anyone interested in goldens.

Book Description
What Ann Johnson brings to the discussion in this book are very personal ways of caring for Golden Retriever puppies based on her experience, knowledge, and background in Biology. Her natural ability to listen to all points of view and her extensive background in science as an educator and researcher have proven invaluable in helping to create the best and most harmonious life for each of her Golden puppies and for each puppy's family. Explaining the growth phases of a Golden puppy during his first year of life, Ann separates these periods into stages of development, describing the major changes that take place: Seven Weeks through Four Months Five Months through Eight Months Nine Months through Twelve Months In the comprehensive middle section of the book, she deals with health concerns: Vaccinations Feeding and Nutrition Common Health Problems Parasites Neutering and Spaying Finally, she addresses specific topics for new owners (and breeders) including a chapter about a puppy's first visit to the vet (written by Jean H. Cunningham-Smith, VMD). This book is basically a compilation of responses to questions owners of new puppies have asked her over the course of three decades working with owners and their families. In addition, she discusses matters she finds interesting or fascinating and does not avoid discussing areas controversial in the breed: "Not everything is known about so-called genetic defects," she says. "For breeders and owners to focus exclusively on the genetic component and not take into consideration environmental influences ignores a major component of what goes into producing a healthy Golden." Most amazing of all is Ann's devotion to her own canines and to the welfare of the breed. She is not only clearly fascinated with the lives of these wonderful creatures, but she is as closely connected to their world as she is to ours.
Customer Reviews:
Really knows her Goldens .......2007-04-12
As the proud mother of a perfect Gold-Rush Golden I can say that Ms. Johnson really knows what she is talking about. Do your homework first, know what you are getting into as far as time and cost goes. Don't buy any dog from a "puppy mill." Better yet adopt from a Golden Retriever Rescue Group.
great book.......2007-02-19
Gives good background into the breed and care of a puppy. Good information on feeding, training, health concerns (including hip dysplasia)
An in-depth, highly recommended pick........2007-01-07
Golden retriever puppies are special: any seeking to understand and raise a superior breed dog will appreciate THE GOLDEN RETRIEVER PUPPY HANDBOOK: THE CARE AND TRAINING OF A GOLDEN RETRIEVER PUPPY FROM SEVEN WEEKS THROUGH TWELVE MONTHS. From acquisition to the puppy's first vet visit and the basics of feeding, the handbook packs in everything needed to handle the special requirements of the breed. An in-depth, highly recommended pick.

Topscoach.......2006-08-22
Absolutely the most thorough and understandable book on the fabulous Golden Retriever pup. There are many excellent books, magazines, and other articles out there, but this one tops them all.
Ten years ago, when we purchased our first Golden, I did much in-depth research, deciding on which breed to buy. Now, after having purchased a new puppy, my "The Golden Retriever Puppy Handbook" arrived after-the-fact (I ordered it after I purchased the pup!).
I am astounded by the author's knowledge of the breed. It's as if she knows our pup, his personality, traits, instincts and his habits personally. I cannot tell you how very comfortable and confident it makes me feel to have this book. I would rate it ten-stars!
Just Okay!.......2006-07-21
I have read about 20 Golden Retriever books and the writing on this was "all over the place." Some of the information I did not find accurate as far as feeding Goldens 30% Protein b/c 1 vet she spoke to advised this. This book does not keep my interest as well as the other Golden books. I only recommend it b/c I believe Golden owners love to read every book out there regarding this wonderful breed.

The best book written about Golden Retrievers ever!!!.......2006-06-17
The best book ever written about Golden Retrievers!!!
This lady is a real professional. She employs world class specialists from both sides of Atlantic. It is the "must read" book especially for Americans. There are a lot of beautiful pictures and this is a great help for people to see how the Golden Retriever should look like. I just hope this book will get translated into other languages too. In the last 20 years this fabulous breed has spread incredibly in many countries even not covered in this book. In this case this book is a little behind but this cannot be hold against the book. This is a nature of all the books. Additionally one has to wait till changes will have more permanent character. I am sure that in the next edition of this book the author will try to update this. I just hope that all my clients will read this book prior to a puppy buying decision. This would save me a lot of time and it will set them on the right track. This would be better for the breed, for the dog owners and ultimately best for their dogs. What else can I say - I love Goldens and I love this book!
Great Book.......2005-07-30
This book is really great. It covered everything I wanted to know about my new golden puppy and the pictures are awesome. I recommend this to anyone.
Can't Get a Better Book About Goldens.......2003-11-21
This book is absolutely fabulous -- you can't get a better book about Goldens. For the beginner, it has all the information in there about how to housebreak him and when to take him to the vet, but it also has the Golden only type stuff, like how to teach puppies not to be afraid to swim. But it is really best for the expert, because there are so many photos of great Goldens and so many placed next to each other -- a British next to an American -- to show the differences in type. This is a really big book with tons of photos and easy to read and really tells you everytthing you need to know. It is interesting to see how the two coutnries diverged in their idea of what the structure should be. It was written by half British writers and half American and oh boy what that committee must have been like!
Content goes beyond basic "how to shampoo" and "how to feed".......1999-02-10
Excellent reference on correct structure of the Golden. Interesting documentation of similarities and differences of standards between the American Kennel Club and the Kennel Club of Britain. Great history about the successful kennels and which ones developed which lines and how the foundations of the breed developed in the UK, North America, Canada and the rest of the world.

An informative book.......2007-02-22
This is a very good book--the pictures are great and worth the price of the book themselves. The "curious Golden Retriever behaviours" are basically curious behaviours of ANY breed of dog, with one or two exceptions, but still it was a very interesting book and it helps you to understand why your dog does some of the (somewhat disgusting ) things it does.
Them loveable Goldens..........2007-01-26
I gave this book 5 stars due to two things: excellent, delightful pictures of golden retrievers in all sorts of places and the text
which must be read out loud to be appreciated. You won't get a vet's answer to these such questions as Why are Goldens always Napping?
Davis gives an answer that napping helps them avoid some potential while-awake danger and hey, people who nap a lot are a friendly lot and so are napping Goldens. No technical best-in-show tips here. But a fun,fun read and very pleasing photographs of those dogs who never really act like real dogs. And we love them.
Great Book!.......2007-01-11
I gave this book as a Christmas present, and the family that I gave it to has read it multiple times! They love it! They go around the house saying "Oh, it is a Golden thing" about all that their beloved "Mollie" the Golden Retriever does!

Customer Reviews:
Good knowledge, poorly written.......2006-02-06
The author clearly has a great deal of knowledge and experience with golden's, but the book is extremely poorly written. The topics explored are very relevant and useful, but discussion was cosmetic at best. Nothing was ever described with enough detail to be useful. It felt like the author wrote the book over a weekend without putting any serious thought into what they wanted to discuss or convey.
better than Dummies.......2004-09-28
This book was much more thorough than the other books we looked at, especially the "Dummies" book. Maybe not as fun to read, but much more useful.

Customer Reviews:
Above average material........2004-07-09
Manual offers consistant information, more consistent than other manuals published on this subject. Devoid of redundancy, unlike Mordecai Siegal's below par hardback, which was an unecessary sale and publish. The payment price for others are economical, but not in a specific way. Cairns may actually have purchased this pet in order to write, publish, and order this superior guide to sale. There are numbers of manuals released on this Retriever, which creates a serious dilemma. Purchase useless material, or the most useful and economical manual sold in modern day. Not recommended are shorter guides which are not seen abundantly in stores. 60 page or more manuals are likely to be helpful in domestic maintainence purposes. This manual is included on this list.

This book does work for all golden Retreivers.Check if your dog has a black mouth and black nose if he does. He is a very smart dog.Put an egg in his mouth. If he has a black mouth and nose he will carry around the egg without cracking it or breaking it.
