Industry Reviews
"You don't have to be canine-committed to enjoy this book, but if, like me, you have either a special dog in your life or are just plum in love with the species, 'Dogs Never Lie About Love' could be the most joyous read of the year....[It] has a gathering pathos which climaxes in the final, thrilling crescendo of its conclusion [in which] Masson studies the wider implications of man's attitudes to animals and our respect for the natural order of the earth....Hats off to Jeffrey Masson for his excellent, down-to-earth, understandable and, more importantly, loving study of man's best friend."
Literary Review - Deborah Bosley (05/19/1997)
" [A] compelling collection of 16 essays about man's best friend....The strengths that [Masson] brings to his subject are intelligence, originality and a refreshing willingness to go out on a number of scientifically unsupported limbs in his enthusiasm for canines....His book is a veritable valentine to man's best friend."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Selma G. Lanes (09/14/1997)
"[A] mash note to Canis domesticus."
Threepenny Review - Arthur Lubow
"Masson may be an anecdotist, but he is also a graceful, powerful, informed writer."
