Good Boy: My Life in Seven Dogs is at face a memoir about the ways in which relationships with different dogs shaped the writer’s life. More than this, however, it is a story about how dogs can play the role of best friend, of confidant. The relationship with a dog can be one of the most meaningful of a person’s life.

The tale is told through the episodes of the lives of seven dogs, who represent seven phases of the author’s life. It is a memoir about growing up and finding one’s identity through the power of relationships.

Finley Boylan shares touching stories about life with dogs and the power of love. While I do not have any pets myself, there is a universal appeal to the narrative.
