1: Great Dog Book
"Woman's Best Friend" features a wonderful collection of stories about the dogs owned and loved by the women authors. One of the best aspects of this book is the wide range of story types presented. Some, such as "The Truth about Cops and Dogs," are informative (and infuriating), while others, such as "Sage the Hollywood Dog" are sentimental and pack a great emotional punch. Many of the stories are humorous, and illuminate the comedic side of dog ownership. The funniest story, in my opinion, is "My Dog Speaks English," in which the author gives her dog its own voice to convince other people to do her bidding. If you are a dog lover, you will certainly enjoy meeting the dogs the talented authors bring to life on every page.

2: Funny Title, but OK!
Woman?? ha ha ha. I thought woman's best friends were......??? MEN! Read this book written by woman~! IT is funny indeed. This book totally twist things around and forcefully put it into an woman's wants and needs, controlling and demanding from Men's best friend. Dog (Canine). :-( I wish this book was about Cat (feline) for woman........would have done a better JOB.

3: Good for a rainy day, or any day.
These short stories cover about as much doggy-owner ground as you could hope for. Know up front that you won't love them all equally, and that some of them will seem repeats (a lot like the other owners at the dog park on a Saturday afternoon, really). Judgemental types like me might grind their teeth at some of these owner's behaviors/irresponsibilities, but you'll find yourself somewhere in this book. You'll giggle, you'll cry, you'll finish and think -- "hey, I should write a story about my dog".

4: Almost 5 Stars...
I enjoyed this book a lot since it was written by women writers. Also, each of the writers had very different stories so I did not feel like I was reading the same story from chapter to chapter. As another reviewer stated, I also appreciated the fact that these stories were not overly sappy. Although I did appreciate that the stories definitely seemed true, I was shocked that one writer actually admitted to beating her dog, following her sister's advice. In the same realm, although I appreciated the writer's honesty, I could not believe that a writer actually wrote that she did not miss her dog once it passed away. I just did not feel that these stories should have been included in a book titled "Woman's Best Friend". Otherwise, I enjoyed the book very much and would have given it 5 stars.
