Wow. There's no other comment for this book. It's truly amazing in capturing emotions of the characters and puts you right in with them all. I can't stop reading this book over and over again. I never used to like dogs and I was pretty sure I'd hate this book when my teacher recommended it to me. But I decided to give it a chance and wow. I'm sure glad I did. After reading this book I not only had a new perspective on true friends and the meaning of love between humans and animals, but I also began to love dogs. And now I'm proud to call myself "Mommy" to my little sheltie, Chip. I never would have adopted him if it weren't for this inspirational book! And I must say I love my little puppy to pieces!
