Katz is an incredible writer. He’s able to draw you in, you feel as if you’re right there with him and you just can’t put the book down! Love, love, love it!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I really enjoyed this book for the most part. *by O***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2018* I've never had a Border Collie, but I've heard stories and heard that they are very energetic and high maintenance. I really enjoyed this book for the most part.But. I love dogs. I am a dog lover. I want all the dogs. I would love to foster dogs, but my resident dog lived in a backyard for six years and was completely unsocialized when I adopted him, and since I do have to work outside the home full time, I don't feel I'm in a position to be a good foster home. While the author loves his dogs, I didn't get the sense that he is a dog lover. For one, his labs came from a breeder. I will never buy a dog from a breeder. I wish breeders no longer existed. There are so many millions of dogs in shelters, living on the streets, or being euthanized because nobody wants them, that it seems unethical to me for dogs to purposely be bred. And yes, I realize that there are so many children in foster care that need to adopted that maybe I shouldn't have bred my own. But dogs are my passion so I don't care how unreasonable it is, that's how I feel.Then there was this passage: "For the noblest of reasons, it had also become popular – and immensely rewarding – to go to the local pound and bring home stray and abandoned animals. Many were lovely, companionable dogs, but some were mixed breeds unsuitable for suburban families, tense and unpredictable around other animals, kids, even their owners. This can also be true of purebred dogs, some of whom suffer from overbreeding and don't live up to their TV commercial images."I don't know why that paragraph rubs me the wrong way. It's an innocuous three sentences. There's truth in them. Maybe it's the phrase “become popular”, as if he's dismissing adopting shelter dogs as being beneath him, or being a fad. And of course, as I got further into the book, his descriptions of Devon certainly prove “This can also be true of purebred dogs”.When one of the author's labs begins ailing and is euthanized, I cried. It's a hard decision, and it's one I've had to make myself, more than once. It's been two years since I lost my dog Max to cancer, but sometimes the grief is still fresh, as if it just happened last month.But other than the occasional wince or incredulous “did this guy know nothing about dogs” reaction to some of the things he did (throwing a choke chain on the ground next to the dog to get his attention or correct his behavior? Seriously?), I loved the stories about Devon himself, about his personality. I could read about that kind of stuff all day long. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Dog Year: Twelve Months, Four Dogs, and Me *by D***. on Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2005* I must confess that I normally do not read "dog" books. But as a recently converted "dog person," the recommendation of this author's work from the online AKC monthly magazine caught my eye. After much research and angst, I got my dog-loving husband a Border Collie puppy for a milestone birthday. He had grown up with mutts; I always had cats; and together we have a horse, three goats and five cats. After being completely won over by this amazing breed, I was curious to know how this breed would change Mr. Katz 's life, in the long run, for the better. He has an easy reading writing style and although there are some humorous parts, this book delves more into relationships, loss and change between both humans and animals. The best part for me was discovering our dog is truely a "Barbie Collie!"DianeMiddletown, CT --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/11638983-a-dog-year-twelve-months-four-dogs-and-me](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/11638983-a-dog-year-twelve-months-four-dogs-and-me) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-03*
