"Tricia Spencer’s clever book, Forever Dogs: Wit and Wisdom From the
Great Canine Beyond – Wagging Tails Telling Tales!, speaks from the
heart, passing on the secrets of unconditional love (and fun and

happiness and laughter and so much more) from one dog lover to another...

A wonderful tribute to those who went

--Midwest Book Review


"This book is hilarious in its own right.  Having just gotten a puppy myself, I thought that many of the
advice pieces and perspectives represented could be how she [puppy] views the new, bizarre world around her. 
Some of my favorite pieces were "the straighter the tail, the better the reception"
and "I couldn't have done it! My legs are too short!" with the chair in the background,
plus the fascinating Doggone Smart! section. 
I really felt like this book would do extremely well in a Cracker Barrel or PetSmart type location. 
Overall, it's an incredibly creative book that should be enjoyable for many to have on their bookshelves."
--Judge, 29th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards
