I was not able to get to this book with enough time to spare since the ecopy expires within a certain time limit. I found the few pages I did read interesting and simple to follow but since I was unable to completely read it I cannot rate it on any social media site at this time.

I have absolutely no crocheting skills, but I do love an adorable crocheted animal - if you're good with crocheting and you love dogs, or you're looking to make something for someone who has a dog, then you'll definitely need this book.

If you like looking at pictures of adorable crocheted dogs, then you'll enjoy this book, too.

Beginner- to intermediate-level crocheters will have a doggone good time with these 20 original patterns for dumpling-shaped dogs. Inspired by a Japanese collecting game, the guide offers full-color photos, simple diagrams, and easy-to-follow instructions that assist crafters in "collecting" all of the cuddly pups, each of which comes with its own charming story and personality points. Breeds include corgi, dachshund, pit bull, lab, and many others — a dog bed and bowl are also included.

This is a nice crochet pattern book for beginners or advanced with lots of yarn to use up. These small projects, 20 dog pups and several doggie accessories are well illustrated with clear instructions. Little ones will love to play with these. Good book as a gift for the crocheter on your list I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This is a great book for those who crochet and like to make fun little things. These are all little dogs and they are downright cute! The instructions are easy to read and follow. They are clear and concise. Most were for intermediate crocheters, but if you follow directions well, I think it is possible a beginner could also do some of these. The instructions are well written and the abbreviations explained as well. I love this book!

Oh my goodness! The absolute cuteness of this book is just off the charts! These adorable pups are so darn cute, it's hard to decide which one to make first. I think Pappy the Scottish Terrier is my favorite, but who can resist these sweet pups? This book features 20 dogs you can crochet - of many breeds, and also includes patterns for a dog bed, dog food bowls, a bone, and a cardboard box. So cute!! There are full color photos of each dog, and detailed, well written instructions for each one. This book is great for anyone who loves arigurumi crochet. I am excited to make these dumpling pups for several of my dog loving friends (and of course, Pappy for myself!)

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley.

I want to make every single dog in this book! So cute. Sarah Sloyer's first book, DUMPLING CATS, has already inspired so many adorable toys.

The instructions are easy to read, and the book includes step by step construction instructions, which for some amigurumi can be difficult to figure out, making this an epic plus in my mind!
