Heartbreaking, breathtaking and beautiful. A true masterpiece. I felt my heart break a thousand times for Little Dog, I cried with him, I laughed with him, and wondered about how the world worked with him. This is impactful and beautiful, but also so so sad. The tale this book tells isn’t one I can put into words for a review, but can recommend with my whole heart.
