LOVED IT
This is such a charming book. It follows the author through her life with the reference points of the dogs she has loved and lost. Her search for the perfect dog is met with the ups and downs that having an unpredictable dog can have on it. The most touching part of the book is the love story between her and husband. This is probably the first book in which his death upset me more than the dogs. Dog lovers will lap this one up.
