 For animal and theater lovers! November 18, 2008
Kristine Mothersele (Connecticut)
Bill Berloni's wonderful and very real stories of the animals he has rescued, trained, and put on stage is a great read. With each chapter a different show and a different animal (mostly dogs), it's a great ride through 30 years of Broadway shows and names and Bill's "learn as you go" escapades with a fascinating mix of critters. Each animal's personality comes through, as does Mr. Berloni's genuine depth of feeling for each of them. There is joy, suspense, and sometimes tears, but the spirit (of both man and "beast") always triumphs. This is an easy read, and would make a wonderful Christmas gift that the whole family can read and share, talk about, and enjoy. And how you react to each story will tell you a little something about yourself as well. - Kris M

Excellent book for the dog lover. I heard the author and animal lover Bill Berloni interviewed on PBS radio, and had to read the book. It's full of stories and pictures about the dogs and other animals he's rescued and trained for Broadway and TV shows.

This is a wonderful book, lovingly written, about Bill Berloni's unusual and fascinating career. And the work he's done rescuing and training dogs over 30 years is a remarkable testament to his humanity and creativity. An extremely entertaining read, for animal, as well as theater, lovers.
