⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Best Boston Terrier book!” Verified Purchase — December 13, 2025

“A must have for people getting their first Boston Terrier. I have 2 Bostons and have been following Donnie’s YouTube since about 2020. This is THE book if you get a Boston. It covered every issue I have had with them and some I have not. I laughed, I cried, I realized some of my mistakes and how to correct them.” — S.


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Everything Boston Terrier” Stephanie Johnson — Verified Purchase — October 19, 2025

“Having owned 9 Bostons in my lifetime I have never seen any book as good as this about the breed. I learned new things I didn’t know as well. It is well written and gives you all the information you need. It even gives resources for adoption along with how to avoid scams on internet.” — Stephanie J.


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Excellent book!” Alexander Tushinsky — November 13, 2025

“This is a well-written, thorough, and excellent guide to Boston Terriers. I have 3 Bostons and a Frenchie, and this guide gets the breed right. Even if you think you know everything about the breed, you’ll find nuggets of information here that you didn’t know. I found the book very enjoyable, and I plan on having it as a reference for the various stages of life my dogs go through.” — Alexander T.
