Heartwarming and profound, this account of one writer's relationship with his beloved German Shepherd is “one of the bonafide dog-lit classics” (New Yorker) The distinguished British man of letters J. R. Ackerley hardly thought of himself as a dog lover when, well into middle age, he came into possession of a German Shepherd. To his surprise, she turned out to be the love of his life, the “ideal friend” he had been searching for in vain for years. My Dog Tulip is a bittersweet retrospective account of their sixteen-year companionship, as well as a profound and subtle meditation on the strangeness that lies at the heart of all relationships.   In vivid and sometimes startling detail, Ackerley tells of Tulip’s often erratic behavior and very canine tastes, and of his own fumbling but determined efforts to ensure for her an existence of perfect happiness. My Dog Tulip was adapted for the screen as a major animated feature film with a cast that includes the voices of Christopher Plummer, Lynn Redgrave, and Isabella Rossellini. Heralded as “a stroke of genius" by New York Magazine and “the love story of the year” by Vanity Fair, it is a masterpiece of animal literature that is sure to touch the hearts of anyone who has found companionship with their own four-legged friend.

I did enjoy this book and have awarded four stars for the writing which is very good and the wonderful humour that is scattered throughout the book.I did laugh out loud but I could not shed a tear as some of the reviewers had. (perhaps the film is sadder!)The story is about a man living with his beloved German Shepherd, Tulip,in a smallish flat in London in the fifties.I saw it as a story more about the man rather than the dog because we certainly get to know a lot about Ackerley as he provides 'the love of his life' with the best possible existence ...from his point of view. There are two distinct sections. The first is about the trials of walking a dog in a public thoroughfare and the problem of doggie defecation. Of course we humans have become more civilised over the years and none of us would dare go out without the mandatory 'doggie bag' but in the 'fifties' it was a 'free for all' on the pavements and I well remember my first trip to Europe in the early eighties dodging copious quantities of the stuff! The mind really boggles that it took SO long for the human race to realise this was messing up the streets and WHY oh WHY didn't Ackerley think to stuff some plastic bags in his pocket..or if he was more environmentally minded....some newspaper!!The second section deals with the mating of Tulip. Very funny! And I can see this was nice thing for Ackerly to do for Tulip...but then after she delivers he prepares to drown the poor offspring until a vet suggests he find homes for the pups.He doesn't want them to go to 'working class' families but then has no choice and none of the pups fare well. I was irritated by the condescending mention of the 'working class' as though they were a blight on the human race, ....but then, this was England in the fifties and class distinction was alive and well in the British Isles (and still is as far as I know). I live in a country where (in the main....there will always be those who feel they are a cut above) the butcher, baker and candle stick maker can rub shoulders with the Prime Minister and it is all above board.So....on reflection..this is NOT the best dog book written. Mr. Ackerley was such a silly old fool who thought he had worked out how to rear a dog in the best possible way.He loved his dog and that is great.........but...goodness me!....couldn't he have had her speyed after the birth of her pups? As it was she had to endure (and so did he!) years of pure hell with marauding dogs and a sick womb.Great writer..but a silly old fool!
