Nanimal has literally written us four emails about this book. She said cried non-stop... She highly recommends it.. I don't know if I'm into reading "a heart-wrenching but deeply funny and ultimately uplifting story of family, love, loyalty, and hope—a captivating look at the wonders and absurdities of human life . . . as only a dog could tell it..." but, Nanimal said they are making it into a movie starring Patrick Dempsey so I'll give it a whirl.
