"ALL DOGS GO TO KEVIN is a delightful, funny and heartwarming tale
(tail?) of the many dogs that have come through author Jessica
Vogelsang's life. It also has the added bonus that Vogelsang is a
vet- so she knows stuff! I laughed and recognized myself and
thought of the many, many dog people I will gift this book to. ALL
DOGS GO TO KEVIN is a real treat (and not the slimy kind that your
dog brings into your bed)."--Julie Klam, New York Times-bestselling
author of You Had Me at Woof
"Dogs have a lot to teach us and a lot to tell us a lot about
ourselves. Told with subtle, self-effacing humor, ALL DOGS GO TO
KEVIN is one woman's journey of personal growth, as reflected in
her personal and professional relationships with people and dogs,
to an enriching understanding of the importance of love and nurture
in our lives."--Larry Levin, New York Times-bestelling author of
Oogy: The Dog Only a Family Could Love
"In a humorous yet poignant style, Vogelsang chronicles the ups and
downs of life and how three beloved dogs stood steadfastly by her
through childhood anxiety, postpartum depression and plenty of life
changes, with encouragement and unconditional love."--Mother Nature
Network
"In a manner reminiscent of author/veterinarian James Herriot,
Vogelsang shares stories of her canine patients and their human
families with kindness and compassion...Vogelsang's experiences as
a veterinarian, dog owner, mother, wife, and friend will resonate
with readers, encouraging them to join her on a journey caring for
others' pets-and to appreciate the unconditional love dogs shower
on their human companions."--Publishers Weekly
"Intelligent, hysterical and heartrending."--Florida
Times-Union
"It's really quite trite to say "I laughed, I cried" at this book.
I know it is, but I can't help it: that about sums up what I found
in All Dogs Go to Kevin. . . .This is also a book about family,
friendship, untimely loss, and making dreams come fearlessly true.
It contains those behind-the-scenes tales and unique client stories
you expect in a book by a veterinarian. We learn an important
lesson about new motherhood that's "delivered... by a Golden
Retriever." And yes, if you've ever loved and lost a pet
(particularly, a dog), this book will make you laugh, and you'll
cry. At the very least, for sure, "All Dogs Go to Kevin" will make
you SIT for awhile."--Myrtle Beach Sun News
"Jessica Vogelsang is a warm and widely respected veterinarian, and
in her funny and often poignant first book, her gifts are on full
display. ALL DOGS GO TO KEVIN is a love letter to the canine
species written by a true friend to animals."--Dr. Marty Becker,
author of Your Dog: The Owner's Manual
"This lovely, warmhearted collection of stories in the vein of
James Herriot's classic veterinary tales will make you smile,
laugh, and want to hug your dog. . . . Instantly endearing and
recognizable to those who deeply love dogs. . . . (a) delightful
read."--Modern Dog
"Veterinarian Vogelsang pays tribute to the dogs that have played
important roles in her life and professional practice . . . She
writes movingly . . . A feel-good, bittersweet memoir."--Kirkus
Reviews
"Vogelsang is a wonderfully sweet storytelling."--The Morning
Call
"With humor, grace and a wonderfully deft way with words, she
escorts us through the trials of vet school and the ups, downs and
surprises of a small-animal practice in San Diego...The tales from
the front are engrossing, often amusing, and always well told, but
no more so than her stories when there are no scalpels or
stethoscopes around...So descriptive and wonderfully unaffected is
Vogelsang's writing style, one imagines even her case notes would
be interesting reads. If it weren't pretty obvious that she's an
excellent vet, we'd probably all be suggesting she quit her day job
and turn to writing full-time. 3.5 out of 4 stars!"--USA Today
