Reviews"Phil Callaway has the extraordinary gift of writing about ordinary life in a way that makes you laugh, cry, reflect, and gain hope--all in the same paragraph. This book might inspire you to get a dog. It will definitely compel you to live a better life." --Richard Blackaby, author of Experiencing God at Home and Customized Parenting in a Trending World, "I read every word of this book and then wished there were more. I don't have a dog. I have issues sharing my personal space with creatures that don't use toilet paper. But I actually like dogs (don't tell my kids!). Reading Tricks My Dog Taught Me awakened me to the homespun wisdom other peoples' dogs can teach me. Plus, I guffawed so loudly my airplane seatmates wanted in on the joke. Read this book in public, and people will ask you where they can get a copy." --Connie Cavanaugh, author of Following God One Yes at a Time, "A good humorist is like a good surgeon--he makes just the right incision so he can gain access to what's hurting and bring healing. Phil Callaway is a great surgeon. Tricks My Dog Taught Me made me laugh over and over. And in the vulnerability of that laughter, Phil managed to tug at my heart and challenge my soul. This book will stay with you a long time--it's a refreshing and truthful companion on a life-journey that can be scary and exhausting." -- Rick Lawrence, executive editor of Group Magazine , author of Sifted and Shrewd, "I read every word of this book and then wished there were more.

I had no idea we could learn so much from dogs and have this much fun doing so.
