Critics Review
“Follow My Lead is so much more than a book about dog training-it’s a book about life and all the glorious ways in which we can learn from our interactions with our best friends. Through melding the stories of training her two spunky Rhodesian Ridgebacks in the agility ring with tales from her everyday life, author Carol Quinn delivers a compelling narrative that evidences the transformational power of the bond between a human and their canine companions. Taking a step back to see what dogs can teach us about our own lives opens the door to truly fulfilling a happy existence, and Quinn’s reminder couldn’t be timelier in our connected world.”-LIFE + DOG Magazine “[T]his uplifting memoir encourages reflection and goal-setting, all within the ever-popular narrative framework of the human-dog bond.”-Kirkus Reviews “Two Rhodesian ridgebacks rescue the Venice-based writer from a midlife funk in this warm-hearted confirmation of what most pet owners already know: Dogs really are man’s-or woman’s-best friend.”-Los Angeles Magazinex “Quinn’s conversational tone, evident affection for her dogs, and willingness to examine her mistakes endear her as a narrator…”-Publisher’s Weekly
