Honestly I love this book with all of my heart, I enjoyed every chapter and the way it kept me wanting more. Read it, please, for my sake.
One of the most adorable books I've ever read. Read it if you need to smile.
This is a perfect middle grade (Age 12) read, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to grown-ups either. A new favourite.

I'm not going to lie here. I am crying. A lot. This book is just so pure and I wish I could go back and read it all over again for the first time. Such a special book.
Absolutely fantastic! I know this was intended for the middle grade audience, but I adored the story — laughing out loud and tearing up throughout. Cosmo is an older golden retriever and he’s the one who narrates this story. His boy, Max, is struggling with the realization that his mom and dad aren’t getting along and they might eventually split up. So Cosmo feels it’s his responsibility to hold the family together. The story comes at this topic from a unique position, showcasing how divorce impacts everyone (including our beloved pets). I love how expressive Cosmo is and how he reads and interprets common human actions. I’ll admit that I was nervous because Cosmo is getting up there in age, but this story has a happy ending and will soon be a favorite in children’s and middle grade libraries. I also appreciated the note at the very end, encouraging readers to first look at shelters and rescues when they want to adopt a dog. I highly recommend! My thanks to NetGalley, Carlie Sorosiak, and Candlewick Press for providing an ARC in exchange for my honest response.

Well this book is about a golden retriever and his family. I have a golden of my own and so I had to read this book! I am so glad I did.
Cosmo is an elderly dog who loves his family and will do anything to comfort them and make them happy. The family is having some problems and so as usual Cosmo goes out of his way to help his family, especially the children. This also involves a dance competition.
Beautifully written. Highly recommended.
