Theron did what we all wish we could do: escape the corporate world and try to find a place in the world that makes sense; is a good fit; and have a lot of fun along the way! I definitely recommend this book to any dog lover!! The pictures are gorgeous and amazingly well thought out UNIQUE!! Hes really captured what hounds like to do and that is be "on" things (especially up high). Believe me; Maddie would not have done these things if she didnt want to!!! If theyre not climbing (or playing); theyre either eating or sleeping!! Anyway; buy the book; you wont regret it!! Most of his artwork is for sale as well! hearts;0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Maddie on ThingsBy Cottonwood the RatladyThis is a picture book of a sweet; elegant red-ticked coonhound named Maddie. Id like to know more about her; but Theron gives us only enough to see their closeness. This is a charming book; especially for those of us who are seriously gonzo on coonies.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Unique; artistic; entertaining and sentimental piece of work!By KLeeGeeI LOVE this book! I saw it in a small gift shop while on a weekend get-away; and it seemed to capture the spirit of all things unique and entertaining; and purchased it when I got back home. I think it is truly a special piece of work and a wonderful way to document an amazing roadtrip that the author took with his sweet (and well behaved) dog; Maddie. The photos are very unique and great quality. While I intended for this book to be a coffee table book for guests to enjoy; it has quickly been taken over by my 5 year old son and added to his library. He laughs uncontrollably at the places that Maddie ends up. (FYI: This is primarliy a picture book; with only a few small blurbs about back stories and locations.)
