"An honest, heartwarming choice for animal lovers."-Eric Liebetrau, Kirkus
"Readers of this book will come away with new knowledge and respect for both dogs and the humans that love and care for them. The stories are easy reading and can be read one chapter at a time without losing your place. Definitely a winner."-Kyle Wendy Skultety, GimmethatBook.com
"From The Mouths Of Dogs speaks to the special bond between human and pet, and deftly illustrates the underlying emotional current that truly makes dog man's best friend."-Eric Christensen, Volume One
"This inspiring study is recommended for animal lovers, and for lovers of life in general."-Portland Book Review
"Part anthropology, part ethnography, part memoir, fully awesome, From the Mouths of Dogs is one of the loveliest, smartest, and most intimate celebrations [and] interrogations of heartbreak . . . that I've read in quite some time. . . . Hollars brilliantly reveals us as a species with equal need for the body and the dust, for history, for memory, for miracle."-Matthew Gavin Frank, author of Preparing the Ghost
"B.J. Hollars allows us intimate glimpses of dog-human relationships that are not usually in public view: behind the scenes at a shelter, in a home for senior dogs, or in the makeshift pet cemetery at his childhood home. Any animal lover will eagerly absorb these stories of love, compassion, and, inevitably, grief."-Brenda Miller, author of Blessing of the Animals
"I was touched deeply by the true stories [the author] shared-things I am all too familiar with in the world of rescue where death is all too frequent. . . . This is a beautifully written story that anyone who has ever been loved by a dog should read. There is heartbreak in this world, and cruelty is all too real, but to focus on the positive messages presented in this work is what made me continue to read and enjoy it."-Julie Dorsey-Oskerka, coauthor of Adopting a Dog? Start Off Right with a Sound Beginning: How to Build a Relationship and Gain Trust
