Author Darrell Bain amuses readers with the antics and adventures of his delightful dachshund, Biscuit. Written with an engaging tongue-in-cheek style, readers will almost be able to feel Biscuit's tongue on their check for a sloppy doggie kiss! The humor is genuine, as are these amazing anecdotes.

Each chapter highlights a special time in Biscuit's life. From housebreaking to hanging out at home, this dog will make himself welcome in readers' hearts and minds. It should be noted that Biscuit had some unusual adventures. He was the first dog I ever read about who received a traffic ticket! That was a priceless story! In fact, Biscuit had some of his most memorable adventures in a car.

While readers will all understand a dog's desire to chew and dig, Biscuit takes this to new heights! Or should I say, "depths" when I am talking about digging? He introduced himself to snakes, skunks and gophers. He had a special relationship with the UPS driver and was a very welcome visitor at a nursing home. The book even has a special section explaining Biscuit's extensive vocabulary, complete with words, phrases and gestures!

It seems that the easygoing nature of the author and his wife, Betty, allowed this little "weenie" dog to embrace life with his tail happily wagging! It was a pleasure to enjoy Biscuit through the words of this writer. His writing style was friendly and honest. What came through loud and clear was the author's love and wonder of his dog. Readers will feel this and be enriched.

As with many dog stories, there is usually some sadness, and that is true here as well. However, the sorrow makes the happy times that much more real and precious.

Doggie Biscuit! is a treat!
