- Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, international bestselling author of Dogs Never Lie About Love and When Elephants Weep.

"Everyone loves Golden Retrievers, or at least they should. But what sets Barbara Lampert apart is not just that she is over-the-top crazy about Goldens, but that she writes so beautifully about them. Happy Harry: A Magical Golden is a wonderful love letter to the greatest creatures on the planet."

Book Description:

In her dog memoir Happy Harry: A Magical Golden, author and psychotherapist Barbara Lampert, a lifelong dog lover, tells the true story of her beloved Golden Retriever, Harry. Like her first dog memoir, Harry’s story comes from her mostly uncensored daily journal and takes place in Malibu, California. Harry was a genuinely free spirit – wild, and very wolf-like. Did all this contribute to his being exceptionally happy? Perhaps.

Harry was not only the happiest being Barbara’s ever known, happy to the very core of him, but also the bravest. More than once in his life, Harry had to face true adversity, and each time, Barbara would look at him in wonder, not fully understanding how a being could be so brave and at the same time continue to be so happy.

Harry literally pranced through life, with a joyous attitude that made being around him like magic.

HAPPY HARRY: A MAGICAL GOLDEN by Barbara LampertMeet the Author:

My passion is dogs! I’ve had dogs most of my life and hope to have at least one by my side always. Dog energy is the best!

I’m a psychotherapist, licensed for over thirty years as a Marriage and Family Therapist, specializing in relationships.

I’m also an author. Happy Harry: A Magical Golden is my second dog memoir. My first is Charlie: A Love Story. Both about two of my Golden Retrievers. (See, I told you that dogs are my passion!)

Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I was a flight attendant for United Airlines for nine years. I also acquired two masters degrees and a doctorate. And taught sociology at a number of universities.

Gardening is another love of mine (Not as much as dogs but right up there!). I see my garden as a work of art and garden as much as possible in my free time. I love being in nature. The miracle of growth, the changing landscape, the beauty.

​I live in Malibu, California with my husband David and, you guessed it, our two wonderful Golden Retrievers, Oliver and Henry.

My Review: 
Happy Harry: A Magical Golden is a wonderful book from Barbara Lampert. I love how she was able to write about her beloved canine best friend, Harry. Her words really made his personality really shines through in the book. I enjoyed getting to know him and learning about his special bond with the author. I, too, had a beautiful bond with my precious black lab years ago. I have yet to find the special bond again with another animal since his passing. I could definitely relate to Barbara and Harry's friendship and seeing how proud she was of him. It was so sweet to hear about Harry, seeing how happy he was, and the joy he brought. I could not help but to have a smile on my face while reading this book. I found the whole book warmed my heart from start to finish. I loved spending time with Harry for a couple of days.
Happy Harry: A Magical Golden will be a getting a very well deserved five plus stars from me. I wish I could give it one hundred stars if I could. I highly recommend it for readers who are animal lovers and love to read heartwarming tales about a fun loving canines. I would love to read more books from Barbara Lampert in the future. 
I received a paperback copy of Barbara Lampert's Happy Harry: A Magical Golden from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
