“This is a powerfully compelling story that will capture your heart, about the true meaning of family and the eternal nature of love. Glenn's use of language reveals the soul of a poet.”

- Anthony Robbins
Entrepreneur, Author and Peak Performance Strategist

“Katie Up And Down The Hall is an absolute delight, a lovely book, and, of course, I fell in love with that beautiful little blond girl. She is a keeper.”

- Betty White

“Katie the cocker spaniel and her human family teach that loving isn’t about the bonds of biology, loving is about embracing and caring for each other. Glenn Plaskin’s book will touch the heart of anyone who has ever loved a dog.”

- Judge Judy Sheindlin

“Glenn’s book is a perfect reflection of the man who wrote it — engaging, open-hearted and very warm. His story proves that the true and small pleasures in life — friendship, loyalty and trust — are the ones that matter most.”

- Calvin Klein

“Katie types, she models, she uses a remote, she changes the lives of everyone around her — and she's got a great wardrobe! What dog (other than my own, of course) can do all that? Well Katie can — and it's a fabulous, heartfelt book.”

- Joan Rivers

“Katie is a dream come true to the various families living on her floor in a New York apartment. Her heart is so big that she adopts them all, making you wish you were one of them.”

- Mary Tyler Moore

“God can appear in many disguises — even as a dog — bringing people together in a spirit of love. All I can say is that I felt 'really good' after reading Glenn's superb book — there can be no higher endorsement.”

- Wayne Dyer

“It is not surprising that Glenn Plaskin's innate talents — his insight and human touch — are wonderfully brought to the forefront in his new book Katie: Up and Down the Hall. It’s a significant story well worth reading — Glenn has done a terrific job.”

- Donald J. Trump

“As a passionate dog lover, I adore my three Jack Russell Terriers, JJ, Cha Cha, and Dolomite—but I have to say Katie touched so many people and what great friends she made in her life. I wish my dogs could have known her!”

- Mariah Carey

People Magazine Review

Liz Smith Urges You To Read ‘Katie’

Even before I went down to Barnes & Noble in Tribeca the other eve to introduce the veteran writer Glenn Plaskin and discuss his new book about the dog that took Manhattan, I realized I was just a small oarsman in the big boat of Glenn’s PR. I asked Glenn questions about why his cocker spaniel “Katie” had won more media space already than the search for someone to play Scarlett O’Hara back in 1936.

Dogs are mighty popular these days and “Katie” has been read and lauded by Betty White, Joan Rivers, Judge Judy and Mary Tyler Moore. “Katie,” it seems, brought an entire apartment complex together, teaching everyone the meaning of dedication, loyalty and friendship. Her death in old age caused more tears than were shed over Princess Diana.

But I do urge you to read the compelling story of “Katie” because if you don’t, Glenn Plaskin will hunt you down (like a dog!) and you’ll pay for missing the experience. No kidding; very touching book.
