It’s fun when authors like Susan Lustig put themselves into the mind of their dogs and write from the dog’s point of view. It’s “dog communication” at its best. You know that Callie Golden Retriever writes this blog at times. And guests on the “My Doggie Says…” radio talk show have included Garth Stein, who wrote from Enzo’s point of view, and Dean Koontz, who often captures the perspectives of Trixie Koontz Golden Retriever. Susan Lustig’s “Emails from Shilo: The story of a dog’s quest to figure out most everything” is a great addition to this art form.
Hear Susan talk about Shilo and his inner thoughts on the “My Doggie Says…” radio talk show:
