A collection of poems on different dog breeds written from their perspective. Featuring gems of lines such as, and I quote, 'For my collie mum was pleasured/by the visiting thatchers lab' and 'I have a broad chest. I am stocky in build./I don't mind how many creatures I've killed'
Some, like that of the cockerpoo are on point, especially to those who've ever had the breed, though reading back I'm not as sure. Others less so. Again, some of the poems flow well, others flow until abruptly interrupted then stutter along. Some lines make literally no sense at all.
A few bits confused me too, like the labradollie being a 'rare find' in a cross breed poem whilst the bagel gets its own poem just pages earlier? Then it's mentioned again in an additional bit written by the dogs dad on the labradoodle page (which was very confusing in itself).
The greyhound was a very short poem and, though a dog previously raced, the poem was centred more heavily on men betting. There's a lot of press around dog racing and a lot more to the breed so it felt under researched. Indeed, quite a few of the poems feel under researched or have just had bits added to make it rhyme leaving a confused look on both myself and my partner who I read a couple of poems to (his review being 'absolute waste of time' and when told that was uncharacteristically harsh, he said it was 'absolutely accurate').
It also mentioned fighting in various poems quite a lot, which would offend me if I was the owner of one of the breeds described as that.
All in all, not something I'd read again. I wouldn't even feed these poems to my dog.

I recieved this book for free from NetGallery in return for my honest review.

What. A. Book.
