Broadway Tails: Heartfelt Stories of Rescued Dogs Who Became Showbiz Superstars April 1, 2009
A. B. Ismail (Singapore)

A lot has been said about how cruel it is to train animals and make them perform in public. While there may be some truth in this, this author who has more than 20 years experience training animals to perform live in braodway plays-and even in a ballet-has relied on care, support and insight into the characteristics of the animal for his success. The book makes for pleasant, entertaining reading and the author makes it seem simple enough for you to want to try your hand at some animal training of your own!
For Dog Lovers Everywhere March 8, 2009
Valley Girl (California)
I bought this book as a gift to my daughter. We both have/had several rescue dogs and know how wonderful and smart they are. Most are so eager to please that they learn rapidly at any age. Anyone in a position to have a dog should go to the local shelter and bring one of these wonderful animals into their family.
Life after the anitcruelity homes February 8, 2009

This book is a great book for animal lovers. The gentleman who rescused these animals is a very dedicated animal lover. He also is a great person who knows how to treat animals, but also has great respect for them. The stories are very heart warming and shows us a side to "show business" that we usually are not aware of in our day to day lives. It is very enjoyable and good for vacations or a Sunday afternoon instead of TV.
Broadway Tails and nuns January 19, 2009
Francis J. McIlmail (Rochester, MN USA)
Broadway Tails is a gem of a book for animal lovers and Broadway theater lovers and for those who are neither. Author Berloni's love for his animals is obvious on every page as he prepares them for the Broadway stage. And most importantly he sees that the animals are well cared for after the closing of the show. Recently I shared this book in a presentation with the Sisters of St. Francis, Rochester, MN. I often present classes on the Broadway musicals and this one was a HIT, with Katie and Joey, two collies, assisting me. The nuns loved it as they related their stories about their pets. Katie and Joey never had so many hugs and kisses and applause.

 Very Sweet Book That Could Use a Few More Details December 31, 2008

This Broadway pet trainer has written a very sweet book that gives some behind-the-scenes information on his job. Although there aren't a lot of great stories or detailed information, those that love Broadway shows and pets will really enjoy it.
The author really has a heart for pets and his kindness comes across in the book. Almost every story is upbeat and positive, and even when he reports something negative he does it in a nice way (such as the time producers failed to acknowledge him on the closing night of Annie or the fact that someone else initially received credit for his work in Annie!). If you like simple, positive stories about animals then this is the book for you.
However, the author could really have added details. He mentions practically living with Sarah Jessica Parker's family--why wouldn't he expand on that or his work with her? She is barely even mentioned here even though he worked with her for years. He alludes to other stars in an off-hand paragraph, like saying Richard Burton likes to pet dogs! Certainly Berloni has seen some more interesting things backstage that are worth including in the book.
