This is one of my very favorite books. I read it when it first came out and have told all of my friends about it. I have read other books about dogs and from a 'dogs viewpoint' and found them to be, frankly, pretty stupid IMHO. I am a person who likes to think of herself as pretty dog savy and I don't like it when people think they are thinking like a dog. Heck, I didn't even like Lassie as a kid because I always thought they were making Lassie too human for my tastes. This book has a dog being a dog and we are privileged to be inside his head. I read it in a day and laughed and cried and felt like I lost something when it was over. Everything a good book should be. I hope you enjoy it just as much.
