I’ve read this several times. It is one of my all time favorites.
A favorite!
Very good
The best
I cannot read a known tearjerker.
DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!
Even though I hear this is a good read, it is not for me!!!
I can’t read a tearjerker, either
Loved this so much
Agree!!
Loved this book!
Ditto!
Yes!! His second book is good too. Loved the ending!
Really liked it!
Hated it
Loved this book so much.
This is on my Very Best list. It is so much more than a Dog Book.
When you’re ready for another dog book, I recommend: A Dog’s Purpose…Walking in Circles Before Laying Down…Roam…A Big Little Life: A Memoir of a Joyful Dog
One of my top 10!
Loved it! Sometimes a good cry is exactly what we need.
One of my top books
I am reading it now. I am liking it, but we have a dog who is a major part of the family.
I do also. You will appreciate them even more. 🙂
It is on my thrift books list!
I will give you my copy
Loved that book! A Dogs Purpose is also a great read!
The car goes where the eyes go!
Loved it!
A favorite❤️
Does a dog die in the story? I can’t read a book where a dog dies. Too sad.
yes
and no…:-)
??? that cleared it up.
@Mary Still, when someone asks me if animals die, I cannot tell a lie, because I know that they sometimes can’t deal with that kind of pain. Speaking from experience.
@Catherine The dog dies. Depending on your beliefs, you may “read” about them again. If you are open to that belief, it is a wonderful story. But you will still cry your eyes out…
@Pam thank you. I read Marley and Me and I bawled like a baby. Since then I haven’t wanted or I have trepidation about any dog dying in a novel. I know , strange.
Edgar Sawtelle did that to me. Made me ugly cry without warning. That’s the last audio book I listened to at work.
@Catherine nope, not strange, I totally get it. But it is a lovely book if you believe in reincarnation.
@BethandBrad Me too!
@Pam, I am that person, so thank you!
Same here. I love dogs so every time my husband sees a book or movie about a dog he gets excited and I have to tell him, “If it’s about a dog, the dog dies at the end. That’s how it works and I can’t handle those kinds of emotions.”
That being said, I absolutely adored The Art of Racing in the Rain, although I won’t reread it solely because of the dog death.
Perfect summation! I always say that it ends the way it is supposed to end. One of my favorite books!
I loved it
I loved this one as well.
Yeah, can’t read books about dogs. I still miss my adorable golden destroyer too much. ❤️?
This is one of my favorites
I couldn’t put it down. Cried my eyes out tho
The pictures in my mind from that book still cross my mind. 🙁 <3
I have it on my bookshelf waiting for me. ?
Wonderful book. Just bought a copy to give as a gift.
When you get arrested for stealing antique spoons 😛
LOVE that book. Had a hard time reading anything after that.
Spoiler-maybe- I finished this book last night. Overall I enjoyed it. We often speculate what our dog is thinking, joking with each other about what she would say if she could talk, so I enjoyed that the author wrote from the dogs point of view.
My most favorite book!
