Book review: Life with Bingo

Body
Your favorite, best friend pooch may know a whole lot more about your life than he or she can tell you, but if you watch closely he or she will let you know with body language ranging from tail wags to barks. Your canine friend shares your joys and sorrows while all the time assessing the character and intentions of people and other animals you come in contact with. After reading "Life with Bingo", you will learn a whole lot about what your dog might really be thinking when you refuse to play fetch or when you serve up table scraps.
"Life with Bingo" was published in 2021 and co-authored by Jim Black and Jim Lewis. The book captures the bond between boy and dog in a unique way. Photo/Nathan Lawson
