A Big Little Life: A Memoir of a Joyful Dog by Dean Koontz

3.0

Do dogs have a soul? Dean Koontz certainly believes they do. It is impossible not to love Trixie. Anytime we get her story, it's fun and lovely. I believe she was an amazing companion and enriched the lives of her human partners. The problem with this memoir is that in order for us to get Trixie's story, some human has to tell it, and Koontz is just not as likable. He's not terrible, but his self-congratulations and dismissiveness of contrary opinion, are hard to take in places. He read the audio version I listened to, and while I think that was the best choice for the book, he shouldn't give up his day job.
