Unique Animals – Whiskers and Bear by Giacomo Giammatteo @jimgiammatteo

.

I am a dog person, so Whiskers & Bear by Giacomo Giammatteo was impossible for me to resist. How about you? What kind of pet person do I have the pleasure of talking to?

I am also a cover girl, and I think this is one that begs to be noticed. Look at those sweet faces.

MY REVIEW

I was very excited to get a chance to read these true stories about two unique, independent, self sufficient dogs, who even had their own method of hunting food, so the only thing they wanted was…

They first meet when Bear demands his biscuit toll. I was sucked in from the very beginning.

Talk about personality…Bear reeks of it. He is definitely the master of his domain.

Animals do communicate. Wonder what your pet’s thinking? Watch, listen, learn.

Giacomo Giammatteo watched and learned, then came up with these fabulous tales of the two unique dogs that had me smiling,  laughing out loud, and oohing and aahing at their antics. They stole my heart and I think they will steal yours too.

Wonderfully written, easy reading, entertaining true stories of animals, especially highlighting two very unique individuals of the canine variety.

Of course, we do have some sad and scary bits, but that is life. We have to take the good with the bad, otherwise we wouldn’t know the difference.

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Whiskers and Bear by Giacomo Giammatteo.

GOODREADS BLURB

Whiskers and Bear were two of the best dogs in the world. They didn’t always listen or even try to listen, but they were loyal to a fault, and they were the best of friends. They hunted all of their food, and they protected our animal sanctuary with no regard for their own safety.

ABOUT GIACOMO GIAMMATTEO

Giacomo GiammatteoI live in Texas now, but I grew up in Cleland Heights, a mixed ethnic neighborhood in Wilmington, Delaware that sat on the fringes of the Italian, Irish and Polish neighborhoods. The main characters of Murder Takes Time grew up in Cleland Heights too, and many of the scenes in the book were taken from real-life experiences.

Somehow I survived the transition to adulthood, but when my kids were young I left the Northeast and settled in Texas, where my wife suggested we get a few animals. I should have known better; we now have a full-blown animal sanctuary with rescues from all over.

At last count we had 41 animals—12 dogs, a horse, a three-legged cat and 26 pigs.

Oh, and one crazy—and very large—wild boar, who takes walks with me every day and happens to also be my best buddy.

Since this is a bio some of you might wonder what I do. By day I am a headhunter, scouring the country for top talent to fill jobs in the biotech and medical device industry. In the evening I help my wife tend the animals, and at night—late at night—I turn into a writer.

    • Dogs do have a life span and the good and fun stuff in this story far outweigh the sad. Every time I think of getting a dog, because I love them, I think of having to put my last dog to sleep and that does it for me. It broke my heart, so I know what you mean.

    • If you love critters, these guys have big personalities and it was a lot of fun reading about their antics. Hope you get a chance to read it.

    • I agree, they are very special to me. Hope you get the chance and thanks for dropping in.

    • I love dogs and these guys were some characters and I loved their stories. It’s a series, so there will be more and they are in support of a sanctuary they have. It’s a good cause.
