Editor Megan McMorris on the essays in her book "Woman's Best Friend" written by women writers about their dogs.

“Woman’s Best Friend” is a compilation of essays that celebrate dog moms and their canine companions. Dogs teach us how to happy at the mere site of a loved one, how not to take things personally, how to remember the good & forget the bad, and how to have faith that the sun will come out again. Editor Megan McMorris shares tales of dogs who warm our beds, maintain our sanity, function as personal trainers, and give us a reason to get up each morning. Does the description “Half Buddha – Half Bozo” remind you of a dog you’ve known?
