Critical Praise
"All the authors' suggestions are intended to entertain readers, so don't expect any practical advice in How to Raise a Jewish Dog. Instead, you'll find lots of "inner monologues" of Jewish dogs that guide pet owners in areas such as socialization, obedience, diet, exercise, equipment, travel, and canine emotional health. While most of the book comes across as "cute" rather than "funny," the sections on missing dogs, pet sitter applications, and The Six-Pointed Mogen David Star of Pampering stand out as especially humorous. Readers also might get a chuckle out of the three meal plans: scheduled, free, and dog-being-raised-Jewish feedings. Photos by Susan Burnstine appear throughout the book, with each demonstrating various techniques described in the text. The similarly cute pictures also occasionally mark some funny territory. Among the obligatory, posed pet owner and "rabbi" photos, you'll find particularly amusing pictures depicting various dogs’ emotional states which might cause you to sit up and beg for more."

"This is a funny book that survives some repetitiousness and holds up for 162 pages, with a nice ending that stays with you."

"Do you remember the episode of SEINFELD where Jerry's dentist converts to Judaism so that he can tell Jewish jokes? I'm not Jewish but I still laugh at the jokes. Is that OK?? What do you think? -OxfordPress.com/blog
