Read what some of Keke's fans said about The Dog Park Massacre:

“Keke is a sharp-witted sprite whose commentary has an unusual slant—hers. I might not have her low vantage point, but I get her point of view. Every story is an adventure.” - Barbara Rein, award-winning author of Tales from the Eerie Canal

"Loved the book! Keke and Ken make a great team!!
I wonder if Keke would give this Grandma some advice.
My Grand dog hates me. Help! I’ll watch for your blog!" - J.J. Clarke, author of the Kate Anderson crime thriller series

“I’m a dog lover, and Ken Van Camp crawls right into the mind of his little dog, Keke, with these stories. Keke is mischievous, obviously brilliant, and cute as a bug’s ear. It’s a sweet book to keep out on your coffee table and pick up whenever you need a smile!” - Kim Rozelle

"Ever wondered what your dog is thinking? Just when I'd convinced myself that ignorance is bliss, Ken Van Camp's delightful book offered a new perspective. Written with charm and humor, it delves into the inner life of dogs and their remarkable bond with humans.

I've often avoided similar books and movies, finding them overly sentimental or saccharine. Van Camp's book is a refreshing change. Intelligent and witty, it offers fresh, thought-provoking insights. The storytelling and pictures are excellent too." - Van White

"This book can help prepare anyone who interacts with a canine - especially a cute cuddly one like Keke! Written from Keke's perspective, I learned more about "That Pitiful Puppy Look" and when I am likely to see it in action. My favorite 'Lesson' was "I Love Those Crazy Squirrels (Even If They're Not So Nuts About Me)". I could not put the book down while reading Lesson 30, "The Dog Park Massacre." How Keke survived was a miracle, and some great open field (dog park) running - like some of the NFL Eagles wide receivers (Keke even has her own Eagles Helmet). It was exciting to see Keke confront the new cat in the house, girding up to be Dragontooth, while still maintaining some tact, diplomacy, and compromise. Keke was right about one thing in the book - there are not enough adorable pictures of Keke; but then, I guess Ken had to put in a few words for us, the readers. One of the most important things I learned was how to wrap a gift perfectly for the many dogs in my life. According to Keke the dogs will really love tearing open a finely wrapped (for a dog) gift. I appreciated the chapter about the puppy scam - the advice offered is useful for any endeavor that requires money exchanged for a heart's desire. I cannot wait to hear about the further adventures (and more pictures) of Keke in the next book!" - Don Bisant

"Great book. Well written. Very humorous with great lessons on how dogs think and the lessons they can teach us. I highly recommend this book for anyone with a dog." - Rick Rozelle

"This book has great stories from Keke's point of view. I really enjoyed not only the stories but also the pictures. I think it is more true that our dogs train us than the other way around. Read it and give it to your favorite dog lovers." - Anne Waters
