Review: There is a true pattern to the books that I love; they all make me cry. This is a hilarious and heartbreaking story of life told from the point of view of a dog. This is a story that will appeal to any reader because it covers everything from sports to romance to the human condition. I would highly recommend this book to older students who are looking for a novel that can truly reflect life.
