As Only Dogs Can: Poems About the Way Dogs Love Us and We Love Them

A heartfelt, humorous poetry collection dedicated to our beloved canine companions.

From sweet and cuddly to silly and rambunctious, dogs come in all stripes (and spots, too!). This collection of poems about humanity’s best friends captures all their different moods, obsessions, and quirks, but one constant remains central throughout: the close bond between a dog and its people.

With poems from a wide range of voices—from Robert Frost and Gwendolyn Brooks to Sharon Creech and Ogden Nash—and gorgeous illustrations from John Bond, this is a warm and witty celebration of all the ways dogs bring love and light to our lives.
