Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Anyone who has ever loved an old dog will love Old Dogs. In this collection of profiles and photographs, Weingarten and Williamson document the unique appeal of man's best friend in his or her last, and best, years.
This book is a tribute to every dog who has made it to that time of life when the hearing and eyesight begin to go, when the step becomes uncertain, but when other, richer traits ripen and coalesce. It is when a dog attains a special sort of dignity and a charm all his own.
If you've known a favorite old dog, you'll find him or her on these pages. Your dog might go by a different name and have a different shape, but you'll recognize him or her by the look in an eye or the contours of a life story. There is the dog who thinks he is a house cat; the herder, the fetcher, the punk and the peacock, the escape artist, the demolition artist, the patrician, the lovable lout, the amiable dope, the laughable clown, the schemer, the singer, the daredevil, the diplomat, the politician, the gourmand, and the thief. Plus, as a special bonus, you will find the first Latvian elkhounds ever photographed.
Old Dogs is a glorious gift book and a fitting tribute to that one dog you can't ever forget.

- Gene Weingarten's wonderful bookBen Franklin said nothing is certain, except death and taxes.
But here are two more certainties: you will cry when you read the last three words on page 13 and laugh when you read page 18 of "Old Dogs Are the Best Dogs" by Pulitzer Prize winners Gene Weingarten and Michael Williamson.
People love books about puppies. They're so cute and cuddly. But they have no real personalities yet, other than "cute and cuddly."

- great book for dog owners and dog lovers...beautiful portraits of man's best friend, in the latter stages of their life, made me laugh, cry and relate to all the wonderful dogs in the book,(having 4 dogs myself) I have gifted it many times over to friends that have older dogs ...they loved it as well!

- This old dog not the best.I was very disappointed in this book. I had read the essay by the author about "OLD Dogs..." and expected this to be more of the same. Instead it was a picture book of a host of old dogs pictures and their stories. Not exactly riveting.

- Outstanding. I loved every page.I have an extensive collection of books about dogs and I would rank this book right at the top. This is such a wonderful book and it is a must for all dog lovers. The profiles of the dogs and the accompanying photographs are so touching. I could not put it down. I highly recommend this book and I sincerely hope that the author and the photographer will consider creating a sequel. (Or, perhaps a calendar with all of that magnificent photography!)
Thank you Gene Weingarten for sharing ... Read More

- Fantastic. Warm and Smart Book.I bought this book for myself, my parents and my best friend. I lost my dog of nearly 17 years this spring and I can't tell you how nice it was to share in the celebration "old dogs." This book is beautiful, touching without being melancholy and funny at the same time. I can't stop reading it over and over.
