"If you love your dog, this is the most important book you'll ever read. It just inspired me to make provisions for my pets so they are protected in any and every circumstance." —Jane Velez-Mitchell, New York Times–bestselling author, Editor JaneUnChained.com

"This book belongs on every dog owner’s bookshelf. Don’t let the title fool you; this book covers far more than divorce. In the talented hands of Patti Lawson, Esq. who is both a dog owner and an astute attorney, it covers every possible legal issue a dog owner might encounter. From dog bites to what to do if you see a dog who is abused or neglected, Lawson lays it out in easy-to-read, almost lyrical prose." —Darlene Arden, certified animal behavior consultant and author of Rover, Get Off Her Leg

"Patti Lawson’s insightful tips as a well-established attorney and a devoted dog enthusiast allow those in this difficult and often painful situation to clearly navigate their options and ultimately make the best choices for their beloved pet (child), as well as their human family. Divorce is tough no matter what the circumstances, but add a dog to the mix and the responsibility and angst for couples or families is emotionally devastating and challenging. This is an absolute must-read for any pet owner who may be facing this life altering event." —Abby Finer, television producer and author

“Even the best-behaved dog can quickly find itself in a world of trouble. This book offers insight on how to best handle such situations from a legal perspective and, perhaps more importantly, practical advice on how to avoid them in the first place.” —Joe Simon, Esq.

"Filled with useful and practical advice to protect your dog. A should-read for any dog owner." —Richard Bruce Rosenthal, Esq., general counsel for The Lexus Project

And I'm not the only one 'bow-wowed' by the great info in this book. . . . I give the absolute strongest recommendation to Patti Lawson's book." —Pet Sitters International Magazine
