Reviews
"This sweet, beautifully photographed title... will elicit broad smiles from dog lovers and photography fans." -Library Journal

"The awh- and awe-inspiring stories and photographs in Unlikely Friendships: Dogs feature my favorite combinations: canines with all critters furred, feathered, and scaled, dogs with people, and, of course-dogs with dogs. I was amused, moved-and at times astonished. I shouldn't have been: Dogs rule and these unlikely friendships delight."
-Cat Warren, author of the New York Times bestseller What the Dog Knows: Scent, Science, and the Amazing Ways Dogs Perceive the World

"This wonderful book shows the enormous capacity of dogs for love and friendship. The stories here are fabulous, uplifting, and a joy to read, letting us know how much we still have to learn about the dogs we live with."
-Con Slobodchikoff, Ph.D., author of Chasing Doctor Dolittle: Learning the Language of Animals

"Dogs win our hearts because they are all heart, and Holland's new book is packed with stories of canine big-heartedness. Her well-told tales-from a rescued Chihuahua who pals around with a chicken to a Bernese mountain dog who's a lifeguard-will remind you of all we love about dogs and why we cannot live without them. Certain to be a big hit with dog lovers everywhere."
-Virginia Morell, author of the New York Times bestseller Animal Wise: How We Know Animals Think and Feel

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
