SynopsisGo inside the mysterious doggie brain with this entertaining, tongue-in-jowl deck of thirty tarot cards and accompanying book affectionately written for dog lovers who want to divine their canine's mind. How often have you wondered what your dog is thinking? Who hasn't stared into Lily's innocent eyes, questioning why she shreds your socks but ignores her fuzzy designer toys. Or why Duncan casually lifts his leg and glares at your new boyfriend whenever he walks into the house. If you're still asking the eternal question, "When my sweet, loving, brilliant, messy-muzzled Canis familiaris growls and wags her tail at the same time, which end do I believe?" then you need The Original Dog Tarot . The 30 cards are a takeoff on the traditional tarot; they're divided into the Major Barkana and Minor Barkana. Each card offers advice for both canines and the humans in their lives. You don't have to be familiar with traditional tarot to use this deck. It is a witty and wise stand-alone oracle for anyone who has given up mastering the techniques of The Dog Whisperer ., Go insidethe mysterious doggie brainwith thisentertaining, tongue-in-jowl deck of thirty tarot cards and accompanying book affectionately written for dog lovers who want to divine their canine's mind.

Sadly, there is only one Dog Tarot in print, to my knowledge anyway. This one starts off with a cute, if incomplete, major "Barkana" of 18 cards, which attempts to look at the world of tarot from a dog's point of view. The majors are very creatively titled and have an amusing, if blatantly fabricated, pseudo-history. The majors abruptly stop at "Justice", which is disappointing and lends a feeling that the creator got bored, lazy or interested in a different project.
This is not a tarot for people; it's a tarot for dogs and dog owners. The minor "Barkana" is uninspired and incomplete, with only three cards per suit; the one (ace), the three and the seven.
Anyone who is experienced with tarot, and has dogs, might find this deck more than a little frustrating to use. There are numerous complete tarots about animals, cats, and even rats. I would expect to find this deck at a pet store, and not for anyone seriously interested in the tarot. However, for clients who have dogs, this might be a fun deck to use for light readings. I wouldn't use it for anything serious, and not without a complete tarot deck to back up the readings.
These are so stinking cute! I absolutely love them. I haven't read with them yet. The cards are well made and the card stock is excellent. The cards shuffle like a dream and they come in a sturdy 2 part box with a nice guidebook as well. I do recommend these for dog and animal lovers.
