This book left me feeling conflicted. Yes , I cried repeatedly at the touching scenes, but I wondered about "the dogs purpose." It seemed unfair to reduce the dog's purpose solely to making the person happy-but isn't that what I do to a certain extent in having a dog as a pet? Made me think ( )
I have to admit that this book had me in tears almost from the start. I was not sure I would be able to finish it. However, I kept going and am so glad I did. This has been listed as a book for middle school, but I am not sure I agree with that. It has a lot of adult themes that are nuanced throughout. I would recommend that parents read this first or read it with their child so they can help explain some of these themes in more depth. It really helped me process the loss of my three dogs and deepened my bond with my Chihuahua, who is the last dog standing. W. Bruce Cameron gives hope to dog lovers everywhere that you can always find your best friend again. ( )

I have never liked a book written from an animals’s perspective but this book actually had the dog seeming like a dog and not a human.
