EDITORIAL REVIEWS
Product Description The first time I met Floyd Salas--nearly three decades ago--he was accompanying a dog, a large, beautiful pooch named Sergie. The two had much in common: they were friendly, smart and tough if riled. As I grew to know Salas better and better, I learned that he feels incomplete without a dog or cat in his life. His poems can draw our attention to how precious interspecies relationshops can be, and to how much we can gain if we give of ourselves. Few accomplished prose writers have also written poetry this powerful, and few writers have so well captured the essence of our relationship with those creatures we call pets.

When you lose an animal friend, Love Bites. I love the title of this book because our animal companions are indeed pure love and when they die too soon, Love Bites. That's when this little black book of poems comes in handy. Floyd's love for his four-legged buddies, his poignant descriptions of sharing a home with them, and the hollow emptiness when they're gone, makes every poem worth reading again and again. In fact, when our vet said there was no hope for our car-struck cat and we came home with an empty towel, I opened Love Bites to one of my favorite verses: "They're not spoiled little brats / they're very lucky cats / they know where it's ats."
