emotional hopeful inspiring lighthearted reflective relaxing medium-paced

5.0

i went into this book with the expectation of a cute read about dogs and left it a crying mess. whether or not you have dogs, if you have a love for animals this book is for you. i highly recommend it to anyone going through the loss of a pet - while i live in a cat household, i still deeply resonated with the words and it reminded me of my sweet calico who passed in 2021. one of the hardest days of my life was when we had to help her cross over during the height of the pandemic. i was unable to go into the vet with her, i could only hold her on my lap in the car. to this day, i wonder if she knew she was loved in that moment even though i - or any of my family members - were in the room with her, and now i feel more assured that she did. my grief over her will never leave, but it will become softer and i am so grateful for authors like Cathryn Michon making that process a bit easier.
