“"Wendy Mitchell's slim book, with lots of pup photos, is a pat on the head for the hundreds of dogs who, from silent film days on, have appeared - and even starred in - feature-length films. Mitchell's style is that of a true dog lover: She adores canines and appreciates the directors and dog trainers who facilitate their performances - and she makes time for quips, puns and anecdotes from filmmaking." Columbus Dispatch -- -”
