 An Artist and His Four Legged Soulmate May 14, 2007
This wonderful book was a big hit with me for two reasons. I've had dachshunds all of my life, with two in residence now, and I majored in art history in college. The minute the book arrived I read it cover to cover. Lump's antics tickled me to death and I laughed out loud causing my own dachshunds to stare and look at me in the way that only dachsies can do. I've even begun calling my most mischievious one "Lumpita" ! After reading the book I went back and examined every detail in each picture, fascinated with the very intimate look into the private life of the artist. The story of Picasso and Lump exposes a vulnerable side of an artistic genius. You don't have to love dachshunds to love this book!
 Not what I expected May 12, 2007

I didn't realize when I ordered this book that it was primarily a photographic essay. The pictures are delightful but, as a dachshund "owner," I had hoped for more of a written history of the adventures of Lump. 'Owner' in quotes since anyone who has lived with a dachsie knows who owns whom.
Fell in love with Lump May 9, 2007
Touching story played out in pictures of the relationship between Picasso and Lump - his dachshund. The favorite picture is one of Picasso eating every bit of fish at dinner with Lump looking on. Got this for my husband for his birthday - it sits on his bedside table - this book is a real treat!
Who would have thought that a strong painter would have such a tender heart for his dogs. March 26, 2007

This book is one that all dog owners will love. The famous artist who did many wonderful paintings, held, hugged and loved Lump--and even fed him from the table--like many dog owners do.
I highly recommend it. This book is a keeper.
Lovely Book! March 16, 2007
As a huge Picasso AND dachshund fan.. I loved this sweet picture book, I may be a sap, but a few of the pictures and captions brought a tear to my eye! And the paintings that Picasso did with Lump in them- magnifico!
