Well that was depressing.  Cool concept telling the story for a dog perspective.  Writing is fine.

Great book. It is a story of love, loss, and what it means to be a labrador.

A suburban domestic drama from the perspective of a dog. Labradors have a pact that they should protect their human families at all costs. They believe whenever a family falls apart it’s either because the dog didn’t do its job or because the family didn’t have a dog. But other dog breeds world-over have abandoned the pact in favour of hedonism.

It’s quirky and charming, even funny in places with how seriously the main character (well, dog) takes himself, but I found all the family drama slightly tedious and most of the characters not very likeable. It also wasn’t the funny light-hearted read I was wanting/expecting it to be.
