Media Reviews

The book offers a glimpse into the family's quieter moments with snapshots of a young Caroline playing with Pushinka's offspring; Jackie Kennedy running with Clipper, the German Shepherd, on the White House lawn; and John Jr. with Shannon, the cocker spaniel, in the Oval Office. This lighthearted book finds an irresistible mix of two popular subjects-the Kennedys and dogs. * Publishers Weekly *
