Dog Years
If you have ever known, loved , lost and shared time and space with a dog, I can not recommend this book any more highly. It has moved to the top of my list of fav books I have ever read. Written by Mark Doty, it is a tender tribute to one of gods greates gifts to mankind.

In its most simply crafted form it is made from a wooden box and a few tines of flattened metal, but the music it makes is filled with a spirit of beauty and complexity that belies the simplicity of its construction.
