"From the opening sentence...to the last...readers will appreciate
how one seemingly insignificant four-legged creature made a
life-altering difference to a young, suicidally depressed man. Four
paws up...Joining the recent wave of memoirs about dogs and their
owners, Goldstein's book differs in that it focuses on the ability
of canines to touch our souls and provide unconditional love and
support during times of extreme psychological stress. In that
respect, it is similar to Mark Doty's "Dog Years"."
"My Pet World with Steve Dale," nationally syndicated column
"The book is filled with stuff any dog owner can identify
with...Quite funny and always honest."
"Zink
""An uplifting romance that will inspire anyone who's suffered from
depression and remind women everywhere why they started loving men
in the first place--because deep down, they're pussycats.""
"PublishersWeekly.com
"In this man-boy-meets-dog memoir, first time author Goldstein hits
a number of satisfying notes relating his story of heartbreak,
mental illness and redemption in the big city Goldstein s chronicle
is funny and absorbing, and should have dog lovers nodding along in
happy recognition."
"Colorado Springs Independent
"The pace of Goldstein's words alone will suck you in to his story.
His descriptions are so vivid you'll feel as if you've taken up
residence in his brain, riding the raging storm within him. Your
heart will race with his, and your breathing will slow when he is
calm. Perhaps most importantly, you'll come to love Ozzy (his
"furry antidepressant") as much as Goldstein does."

""Takes us into
"Takes us into the world of author Bruce Goldstein's manic
depression, just as Sylvia Nasar's "A Beautiful Mind" explored the
horrors of schizophrenia...Pet owners will certainly relate to
Goldstein's having to rearrange his life around Ozzy...Goldstein's
prose flows effortlessly...The book's message is life-affirming and
life-altering."--"Paw Print" "An inspirational true story on the
