I think any dog person will love this book and I think any pet-owner will enjoy it.
The book made me laugh, smile and cry. It brought back many childhood memories of my own dog that was with me growing up and who I still miss.
5 BIG stars from me! I wasn't the biggest dog lover; more of a cat person, but this book has changed that. What a delightful read . . . sure to make anyone who reads it a dog lover!
Manipulative. Woo-woo, wish-fulfillment fantasy. Omniscient first-person narrator, a gimmick that nearly led me to abandoning it early. And did I mention manipulative?
But dammit, it worked. Cameron has created an unlikely lens that focuses powerfully on human love, loneliness, happiness, uncertainty, and our talent for stumbling onto doing right. I never actually grew to love the narrative gimmick, but I did come to understand and accept it and even love the narrator.
