I love, love, loved this book. Although it is only the second book that I actually shed tears over, I knew the ending would be good and soldiered on. I love how the author reads the dog's mind, having Bella narrate the entire adventure, for an adventure it is.

This is the reality of a dog's life. Bella was falsely called a pit bull and faced many hardships because of that one idea. Pit bulls, I have one, are not vicious (some of their owners are) but the warmest, gentlest dogs I've ever had. Bella was not a pit bull, but she was a wonderful dog. And a therapy dog by nature. Glad that now hospitals are utilizing dogs in therapy (physical and mental).

I watched the movie before reading the book. I didn't like the movie, although the author was involved in its development. I think the book allows you to take a breather and remind yourself it ends well, while the movie is sort of "in your face: too real."

I had previously read Cameron's A Dog's Purpose and loved it. When I saw this on the giveaways page, I had to have it, and was thrilled to receive it. Highly recommended for adults and mature YA. W. Bruce Cameron has written a number of books for children as well, which I hope to investigate. Wonderful writer.
