Reviews for Best Friends Forever: The Greatest Collection of Taxidermy Dogs on Earth

"""Powe's very scholarly approach to exploring the background of canine taxidermy helps readers understand the complexities of the practice... This book will certainly make for fascinating reading and it is guaranteed to be a great conversation starter if you have it on your coffee table when guests show up...it also reminds us that if not for some of these antique taxidermy specimens some of these dog breeds would be lost to history."" -- ""Fansided"""
