Walking with Peety: The Dog Who Saved My Life by Eric O'Grey

1.0

I wanted to like this book more than I did, I'm a sucker for animal-human-rescue stories! And I'm happy that the author has successfully changed his life for the better. But the tone was off in several ways. There was a certain lack of charity on the part of the author - always talking about "hippies" and going into detail about how other people offended or hurt him, without any apparent self-awareness about his own behavior. I never got a sense of Peety's personality, really, or a chance to understand how Peety enjoyed his new life. And the book was extremely linear - this happened, then this happened, then this happened, etc. There was just no joy, no life to it. I wish I had better things to say about this book, but I would not recommend it as a fun or educational read.
