This is my favorite book so far this year!!
I loved, loved, loved, this book!!! Although, I am not even a 'dog person', I fell in love with this dog and his inner thoughts! Difficult to put down, and definitely a book that I will never forget! I didn't want it to end... and will hope for a sequel. Wonderful and touching. Will be ordering as gifts for the holidays... I highly recommend!

Touching tale of one man's ruin and redemption, as told from the perspective of the family dog. Though some parts of the plot are predictable--if not unbelievable--and the pages about racing are somewhat of a bore (if you're not into that sort of thing), the book still manages to hold its own with the right mix of triumph and tragedy. While the ending is a bit cliched and wraps up too quickly for my own taste, the book interested me enough that I finished it in four hours...and cried like a baby when I did.
** This is probably a book you should avoid if you have recently been through the death of a pet. Without giving anything away, let me just say that it's emotionally charging for any animal lover, but may be more difficult to read if you've recently lost a pet.
