This book was really touching my family we have always had to looks from the time I can remember Granite they were mostly pitbull mixes I still currently have a pitbull I have a Yorkie a hound dog a patterjack and Pitbull mix I completely understand the bond you get with your animals each one is different from the other each one is as special as the fur baby itself reading about the van she had for each of her babies was heartwarming laugh cry very good book I suggest anybody who is an animal lover to read it especially a dog lover.
