BOOK REVIEWS

PACIFIC BOOK REVIEW

There is a very good reason why so many people say that dogs are man's best friend. As Emily Dickinson once said, “Dogs are better than human beings because they know but do not tell.” This sentiment is explored thoroughly, especially from the dog's point of view, in author Marcella Bursey Brooks' novel, Four Dogs and Their Tales.
