This is one LOUSY read!, Jun 8 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Pets Letters to God (Hardcover)
A thoughtful person gave me a copy of Bricklin's poor excuse for humor. Of all pet "letters" pitifully few were even mildly amusing. My disappointment turned to anger when, near the books end, Bricklin throws a barb at the already hopelessly beleaguered pit bull breed. While breed is noted in only a tiny minority of "letters," pit bulls are specified in a less than complimentary reference. This is either misplaced spite or profound ignorance. As a person involved in pit bull rescue I deal with the helpless victims of Bricklin's style of thinking. One in five hundred pit bulls find a home, the rest are put to death. Shame on Bricklin and shame on Hallmark. I'll be passing this information along the rescue network to alert conscientious animal supporters to avoid this and other Hallmark products. For much higher quality humor read Mondo Canine by Jon Winokur.

The FUNNIEST and BEST Book for Animal Lovers!!!, April 14 2004
This review is from: Pets Letters to God (Hardcover)
This is the FUNNIEST and CUTEST book for ANYONE who likes animals. Men will enjoy it as much, if not more, than women. It is NOT a "religious" book, but a hilarious "translation" by Mark Bricklin of the various "messages" that he is sure various pets are sending up to God.
I have 3 copies of this book at home now and have given at least 7 books to friends, vets, my hairdresser, and family. It is a DELIGHTFUL little addition in a gift basket for someone you know that has a dog, cat, bird, fish, hampster; (you get the idea...)
Examples of Bricklins' humor, which are included:
" Dear God,
Is thunder absolutely necessary?"
McGwire Dog
"Dear God,
How do I get rid of dog breath?"
Delilah Dog
"Dear God,
Are humans on uppers or are we on tranquilers?"
Buddy Box Turtle
"Dear God,
Please Pass this message along to my so-called master:
Why are you trying to teach me to roll over and play dead? Do you find that funny? Funny how?"
Joe Dog
These are just a FEW of the terrific messages to God from a vast menagerie of pets. Most are just really funny, but a few are rather touching.
You cannot go wrong with this book. It is great to bring cheer to anyone's day!
