emotional medium-paced
Poetic and relatable for any dog/pet owner. Tense third act was resolved in a very satisfying way.

All dog books are so sad. For reference I read this the whole drive home and cried about 80% of the time.

Loved this book!!!! I read it over the course of one travel weekend. It is narrated by a dog whose observations of human behavior often had me laughing out loud. Such a sweet story.

Even though I saw the ending coming, it lived up to the hype and praise. 5 stars for being a wonderfully written and uplifting story.

Really don’t know what to think of this book. Laughed at some of it and cringed at so much of it. Parts were pretty good, but so much was odd.

Awesome!!! A must read.

A real page turner. Well written. This novel has many layers. Not just a movie about a dog or racing. A movie about love.

This was so well written. I definitely got some looks while crying reading this on an airplane. The love and tenacity Denny had for his daughter really hit me. I did not want this to end I wish there was more to their story.
