I knew this book would make me cry and I read it anyway. Such a beautiful story about humans and their special bond with animals. What an ending! Will definitely read again when I feel like sobbing.

Imagine so many classics rolled into one: Black Beauty, Old Yeller, Hatchet, and the  Incredible Journey all rolled into one. Then imagine that there are still new and beautiful things to say about family, connection, growing up, surviving, letting go. And then, go read Pax.
