Quirky, cute; a fast, easy read. The book was evenly divided between Gil's relationship with his dogs, and Gil's relationships with his women (rather boring for me). I found myself speed-reading through the book, just to see if there was any point to it; it felt like some existentialist ramblings. But the last 1/4th of the book grabs you by the neck and holds you down till you finish. I think all of us dog lovers will recognize the types of dogs. The author really does nail down those personalities, both canine & human.
