From across the pond comes a very creative book by Scotland author, Peta Love, that you can read to your dog. While Beef Casserole for the Dog’s Soul may seem like just a collection of lighthearted short stories at first glance, in reality, it provides the reader with some important information and some touching life lessons.  For example, in her first story entitled Puppy Dog, the reader learns that puppies like routine and that training is most successful when it doesn’t “last too long.”  In another story, Glam Dog, Love relates the story of Contessa, a prissy show dog who spent all her time being primped and coiffed. After she was caught in the fire and badly burned, however, she became a therapy dog at a local animal hospital where she helps other dogs and their owners cope with their fears.  At the end of each story, Love also provides Dog Jive, a list of words and phrases and what they mean to dogs.  Beef Casserole is a delicious helping of fun for dog lovers of all ages and their furkids are sure to lap it up!  I know mine did!!  Available online from blurb.com
