It's nice that the author was able to reminisce about his childhood, but we should probably leave this book in the past.

This book was read to me by my mother. It means a lot to me.
But this book will RIP YOUR HEART OUT OF YOUR CHEST!
“After the last shovel of dirt was patted in place, I sat down and let my mind drift back through the years. I thought of the old K. C. Baking Powder can, and the first time I saw my pups in the box at the depot. I thought of the fifty dollars, the nickels and dimes, and the fishermen and blackberry patches.
I looked at his grave and, with tears in my eyes, I voiced these words: "You were worth it, old friend, and a thousand times over.”

I am glad i read this book but it held true to what everyone said. I cried for like the last three chapters. I borrowed this book from the library after a conversation on books we read that made us cry and Not because I wanted to cry or thought I wouldn't but because I was like the only one that did not read this book i took it out and read it. It is a great story of a young boy's determination and love between him and his dogs. I hope it inspires me to accomplish more in my life and I remember to believe in God and know that everything happens for a reason.
