Review:

DOGGED PURSUIT is filled with wit and humor. Neither Dusty nor Robert are sure if they're going to make it in the strange world of agility. But, like all great dogs, Dusty brings the best out in his human partner...lots of fun!
-Greg Kincaid, The author of the New York Times Best Seller, A Dog Named Christmas.

"The most difficult "agility circuit" in this book is the hilarious and twisting road upon which Robert Rodi has embarked in his determination to train a recalcitrant Sheltie. It's one of the funniest books I've read in a long time. But then, to a dog, it's probably seven times funnier."
-Cathie Pelletier, author of The Funeral Makers and Running the Bulls
