The author captures in words all the feelings of the journey through the ending of a beloved dog.

Get ready to laugh hysterically and sob uncontrollably, especially if you are also a dachshund owner like myself. The author convinces you to suspend reality and asks you to go along for the ride...my advice is to do it.

I don't think the execution of the fantastical realism wasn't for me, but it was a sweet book about a man and his dog and I can appreciate that

Anyone who has ever loved and lost a beloved dog can relate to this book. I can relate to raw grief and fanciful thinking having lost a faithful canine companion. Thank you Steven Rowley for this beautiful love story.

An occasionally funny, sad, and heartwarming story about a single man coping (or rather, failing to cope) with the illness of his dog. It was good, but I definitely felt that I was not the target demographic for this book...
