 love this one. the sadness and sorrow and heartbreak got to me. the development of little dog, the complications of communicating with his mother was certainly touching - did get very very confused at the family member connections, maybe bc i read too fast and tend to skim over many details lol. i just ..... it really resonated with me and i'm thankful to have read this. definitely gonna reread to properly absorb the story once more.
