Reading About Dog

January 25th, 2010 View Comments

Just the other day I went to Pavilion and got myself a ridicule time to waste on. Hence, like my usual self I decided to drop into the bookstore and get a grab of a book or more. Since Times Bookstore was offering 3 for 2, I opted for 2 titles which in related to dogs. They don’t have much selection besides the chic lit which I had enough of it for the time being.

For 2010, I wanted to make myself to read at least a book a month. Manage to finish the first book in the month of January in less 24 hours. Well, I did it within the 4 hours of sitting in the Starbucks Coffee in Pavilion. I feel good about it. In fact, I was surrounded by the bunch of peeps with their notebooks around. So being sour grape, I feel good about me reading the book rather than staring into the display screen.

Coming back to the book, I was curious how come there are so much about the dogs. Especially after Marley’s story? Or everyone just wanted to tell the world how great is their dog. Mine too if it is not better than any.

Dean presented the story much deep and vivid. I could easily follow the journey of Trixie whom the author called her Short Stuff. Along the way, Dean make it interesting by putting the details not by the factual but rather his witty comparison with things around him. I noted that in this book he quoted more from “Coker” than any other things else.

It was a true account, a real story about this dog, Golden Retriever by the name of Trixie. In contrast with Marley, she is a true gem by any account special to heart. Who won’t love a good and mooshy dog such as like Trixie. The Trixie finds herself being a guiding tool for Dean. She just simply reminds me of my dog.

It was a joyful and pleasant read to say the least.
