This book is a must-read for every dog lover! The life of a dog - told by that dog, but in a way that is totally "human", From the first page to the last, the story had me....sometimes laughing....sometimes weeping a bit....sometimes saying awwww or wow -- but always enchanted. It's an easy, relaxing read and has become one of the books I've enjoyed reading most, in the past few years. I'm sure going to check out other books by Garth Stein!

Great story, told as only a dog could tell it. It shows we humans the compassion and understanding that dogs possess. There is indeed an imperceptible bond between dogs and their people which is not always easily defined. The book also tells of the trials of family life and the tragedies that can happen. In spite of the few sad parts of the book, there is a really good ending which will bring a smile to your face.

Loved the movie and the book is just as good. This is one of the few books I would re-read in a couple of years because it is an amazing story.

Don't let the idea of a dog narrating the story, and thinking way to much like a human, dissuade you from reading the book. Just accept it and you will enjoy it. I don't care one whit about race car driving, but I can at least appreciate it more now, after reading this book. I not only read for enjoyment, but I like to learn new things from each book. And I did.
