What Dogs Want by Mat Ward
3.0

I read this book for two reasons:
a) I always want to be friends with as many dogs as possible, and
b) I always want to have a good time.

Well, and the publisher sent me a copy. So I guess three reasons.

I did get a lot of intel on how to befriend dogs, but more so I got a lot on how to train them (which makes sense). This is not very applicable to my life, because my family's dog is past the training age and is very flawed and very perfect and very full of personality, but it is useful for most people, and potentially for the future.

I did not have that good of a time, though. I expect not to have a good time with most nonfiction, but not with nonfiction that's filled with little cartoon dogs.

But c'est la vie. This was very dry.

Bottom line: Like most nonfiction, boring and informative!
