Helpful Score: 1

How many of us get a dog as "practice" before trying to have kids, wanting to make sure we can successfully care for another living thing (and keep it alive) before taking on the ultimate adult responsibility of parenthood? John Grogan's extremely personal, heartfelt, and openly honest book perfectly explores the ups, downs, heartbreaks, failures, and joys experienced on the road to parenthood and most especially how our beloved dogs, well-behaved or like Marley, enrich the process and sustain us on the journey with their loyalty, empathy, and love.

This book is the ultimate love letter to our pets, how they help us develop into the parents, and people, we become, and how they enrich all of the relationships in our lives. While I know it sounds trite, you will laugh, you will cry, and you will hug your dog for dear life during the course of reading this book.
