Dori's narrative is a heart-touching and zany blend of actual events in the life of a young Boxer. With edgy charm, she takes us on a romp through her world in such a way we can't help but reconsider our lives. Through her we get a dog's-eye view on human exploitation of animals. This unique approach is hauntingly effective.--Dr. Will Tuttle, author of the acclaimed Amazon #1 best-seller The World Peace Diet, published in 16 languages, recipient of the Courage of Conscience Award and the Empty Cages Prize
My story is about plants. The planet. And animals. About a dog. Me! And my humans. Eating only plants. No animals. Yup! And that brings up other stuff. Um hm.
A very clever and unique book—unique in more ways than one!
Dr. T. Colin Campbell, author of New York Times best-seller The China Study, Cornell University Jacob Gould Shurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional
Quirky humor, autobiography, and so much more. This is a book of ethics and love, and an act of faith and wisdom on how veganism could save us and lead us to the world’s flowering, again. Dori deepened me. I hope thousands of folks take it to heart and mind.
William Heyen, National Book Award Finalist and author of The Candle: Poems of Our 20th Century Holocausts
Dori’s cracking-wise book is a fresh and cheeky view of the world. Reading her very fluidly written pages is a lot of fun. Delightful!
John Sterling – former president Henry Holt/Editor at Large, MacMillan
There’s a spark inside all dogs that ignites the human heart. One particular dog, the main character in this extremely informative animal-rights cross-genre novel, can light up an entire city. Dori, the story’s pert four-legged sage, helps the reader see the world with compassion. We are all in dire need of her furred truth telling. Folks—this is “real news.” A clever, important and enlightening book, it is necessary and couldn’t have arrived at a better time. Dori can help save lives and the planet. Highly recommended!
Rob Plath – underground poet, painter, photographer, animal-rights activist and author of A Bellyful of Anarchy, and The Cataracts of Conformity.
A delightfully witty, whimsical and creative book. And a decidedly serious one. Ooph!
Jonathan Balcombe, author of What a Fish Knows
