Good Boy by Jennifer Finney Boylan is a heartwarming memoir that is told in part by the author giving part of her life story through the association of several of her beloved furry canine companions during those times and how they helped mold and shape her as the person she is today.

Any dog owner or lover will enjoy this book in getting to hear the “tails” of a life lived with man’s best friend. There are happy and lol moments. There are definitely sad moments. I laughed and cried throughout this book. My heart went out to her several times with the loss of her loved ones.

Seeing how honorable and selfless dogs truly are brings home the true joy that they add to our lives. They are loving, loyal, uplifting, and add a richness to our souls that cannot be replaced. We are forever changed, and I think improved, with these loved ones by our sides. It is only right that we should do everything we can to do the same for them.

Ms. Finney Boylan is clearly a talented and gifted writer, and while the transitions and outline could have been smoother, I truly enjoyed reading this book. As a dog owner, I was truly drawn into and throughout the pages, and truly am grateful to have read this book and to be able to experience the love of my dog at home today.

Thank you Celadon and BookishFirst for this ARC and in return I am submitting my unbiased and voluntary review and opinion.
