There are many great books and stories about humans and dogs. Here is a recent one about a poodle who helped one man (Dana Jennings is a man) cope with cancer and discover things in life he wouldn't know without Bijou, the poodle. This is what he says about the dog:
Besides being the family dog – the only role we ever expected of her – Bijou has been a drinking buddy and a fuzzy shrink, an alarm clock and an angel of mercy, a sleeping partner and a sun worshipper, bunny-lunger and carcass-snuffl er, beggar-dog and thief, ear-sniffer and tail-chaser, and, in the end, a devoted mystery with a cold black nose.
The book grew out of a blog. Below is a video of the author and the dog.
