title

Lessons from Tara: Life Advice from the World's Most Brilliant Dog

fullDescription

David Rosenfelt's loyal readers of the Andy Carpenter series are familiar with Tara, the golden retriever sidekick. Many also got to know Tara from Dogtripping, David's nonfiction book about becoming a slightly nutty dog rescuer and the dog that started it all. Here, finally, is a book all about the inspirational canine who taught David everything he knows. Well, he did know how to tie his shoes before he met and came to love Tara, but that's about it.
Through Tara, David learned about dating, about being able to share his emotions, and also about everyday stuff like who gets to use the pillow if several dogs are sleeping in your bed (clue: It's not the human) and why random barking will never be something that can be eliminated. Lessons From Tara is infused with David's trademark wry and self-deprecating sense of humor, and will move readers to tears and laughter.

     June 1, 2015
     Rosenfelt's latest work of nonfiction has a slightly misleading title; although Tara, the author's first dog, takes center stage, other dogsa handful of the hundreds the author and his wife have taken in over the yearsdo make some appearances. The book's theme is pretty straightforward: here are some of the things I've learned about myself through my dogs. Grieving after Tara's death, for example, allowed Rosenfelt to open up a more emotional side of himself; other dogs have shown him how to cope with stress, how to put others ahead of himself, how to exist in a seriously hectic environment (his house is always full of dogs), how to find the small joys in a busy day, how to manage with a lack of sleep, and more. There's not a lot here to appeal to fans of Rosenfelt's crime fictionhe's the author of the Andy Carpenter series, as well as some stand-alonesbut readers who enjoyed 2013's Dogtripping, the author's chronicle of his cross-country adventures with an assortment of dogs, should have a good time. A slight book, but an entertaining one.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
