Here's the thing: if you like dogs, I think you'll love this book. The writing is cute, and the dog's personalities are fleshed out well. Here's the problem: I'm not a dog person, or a pet person, or an animal person for that matter. (Insert criticism of my cold soul here.) If you took this exact book but substituted a child, historic building, or a knit sweater for for the dog I'd love it. It's evident the author is a journalist-- she has a knack for writing place and capturing a feeling without getting bogged down in flowery prose. But alas, I am not the intended audience for this book and it would do better in another reader's hands. But if you like dog stories, definitely give this a try.
