    Alert to every deranged impulse of his clients, Mr. Silver brings his lessons home with vigor and wit.

    Watching this show feels like walking around Manhattan, and you don't have to be a dog person to think that's fun.

    Dogs is a perfectly pleasant show based on the perfectly reasonable proposition that dogs are people, too.

    Fans of Animal Planet's "It's Me or the Dog" or National Geographic's "Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan" will recognize this summer series about New Yorkers and the canines that own them for the copycat it is, but who cares?
