You Had Me At Woof: How Dogs Taught Me the Secrets of Happiness begins as a seemingly sweet book about a rescued Boston terrier who saves author Julie Klam from her self-centered lifestyle in New York City. As the book progresses, the reader learns about the dedication and volunteer hours needed to save just one pet from heartless and irresponsible owners that populate every community. I had to stop reading due to some graphic details about animal treatment, and being a dog lover, Boston Terriers in particular, this book touched a nerve for me. Klam is a solid writer, but I found some details didn’t flow with the rest of the “feel-good” storyline I had anticipated. The cover alone should capture the curiosity of a few readers, encouraging them to learn more about the unconditional love pets provide and the time it takes to truly care for an animal. - Kathy (Downtown)
