Review
In my experience of twenty five years as a Vet and thirty six years owning my own pets, I have learned that the most fulfilled dogs are the ones that have a job. For this reason, I especially liked the picture of Jamie carrying the newspaper. The problem with this book is that everyone is going to want a dog just like Jameson. They have to choose well and nurture their pet to be Jameson. But it never will be. It will be another spirit, another life, another joy. --C.M. Omoto, DVM

We were able to create a deeper guardian and pet bond with our own pets using Dr. Fred Haney's experiences. By observing our pets expressions and body language, we were better able to understand what they were saying. My Doggie Says... has deeply enriched our lives and the lives or our pets. --Hal Abrams, Co-host Animal Radio

Written with a warm sense of humor and insight, Haney's book is so informative that it was almost enough to inspire this cat lover to head on down to the pound to adopt a puppy. --Angi Ma Wong, best-selling and award-winning author of Reggie the LA Gator and 24 other titles

Customer Reviews

A deftly researched and compiled advice book
Just because they don't have the gift of speech does not mean animals - dogs in particular - are incapable of communication with humans. "My Doggie Says...: Messages from Jamie" is a guide to communicating with your pets using the author's beloved golden retriever Jamie as the basis of study. Dogs can 'talk' and 'ask' to humans in innumerous ways of non-verbal communication - and having a healthy relationship with ones pooch depends on correctly understanding all these unspoken cues that dogs transmit. "My Dog Says...: Messages from Jamie" is a deftly researched and compiled advice book, and highly recommended to pet lovers and community library collections focusing on pets and canine care.

I always knew that dogs could talk!
Fred and Jamie's story of how they live, love and communicate is light, happy and heartwarming. Yet it also presents a challenge and an encouragement for people to slow down and look at their dogs in a new and wonderful way. Yes, this book shows us that dogs do "talk" to us. Their expressions and their actions speak volumes. Jamie's family took the time to stop, look, and listen and it enriched their relationship in a wonderful way.
I recommend this book to all dog-lovers. And if you are not a dog lover, you just might become one while reading the story of Jamie and her family.

My Doggie Says is a wonderful book that inspired me to listen more closely to my own dog and her body language, preferences, signals and cues. It is said that dog is man's best friend, and this is so. Reading My Doggie Says showed me how I can be my dog's best friend. I can recommend this book to anyone who loves their dog and wants to be inspired and shown how to better communicate and interact with your beloved pet. Very interesting read and lots of cute pictures!
