""Wally's World "is a gem. This story about a singular bull terrier
that ruled the roost in a couples' lives and hearts for a few short
years is just like the breed the memoir so lovingly and poignantly
portrays---funny, unexpected, and heartbreaking in the best ways."
---Jonathan Carroll, author of the "New York Times" Notable Book of
the Year" The Wooden Sea," "The Land of Laughs, "and "The Ghost in
Love""It is a rare treat to step into a total world revolving
around a dog we've all dreamed about. Wally is a canine Clark
Gable, a charming rogue, loved without reservation. More than that,
here too is the writer's life, with more twists and turns than a
dangerous mountain road or a smooth interstate. "Wally's World"
took my breath away. You gotta love him and his family."
---Mordecai Siegal, author of "Dog Spelled Backwards
""An entertaining and touching story of an inimitable dog whose
winning personality and "joie de vivre" touched all who knew him.
Whether during idyllic and hilarious times as a farm dog or helping
his people navigate a Kafkaesque legal case, Wally was ever ready
to inspire, comfort and bring joy to those he loved." --Claudia
Kawczynska, Editor in Chief of "The Bark" Magazine
"Wally, who is the centre of Boulton's and Williams' worlds,
provides comic relief through the book as he does in real life.
He's good natured, charming and loaded with personality. He'll do
anything for a cookie or a ball." - Joanne Shuttleworth, Guelph
Mercury
"Wally is more like the thread that holds the book together -- just
as he has helped to hold the author together during difficult
times." - Kitchener-Waterloo Record
"If you like pets, you will love Wally's World. "Wally uses his
bully front paws as adeptly as Oscar Peterson uses his hands on the
piano . . . he jumps in the air to make a header and has bounced
tennis balls off his nose since he was a puppy." - Andrew Armitage,
Owen Sound Sun Times

"Wally's World is a gripping memoir that moves gracefully between
humorous stories about Wally, the beloved dog cum child, and
Boulton's narrative of Williams's tribulations, told with icy irony
and barely restrained anger - 'not all that much has changed since
Salem.'" - Elizabeth Abbott, Globe and Mail
