Book recommendation for dog lovers

I'm currently reading The Art of Racing in the Rain - it's a story about a family through the eyes of a dog. I love it and recommend it!

That sounds great. Is it sad or happy?

I enjoyed Marley and Me... until my mom told me the ending. I love those books and I smile while reading them but I can't, I just CAN'T with the endings. I actually never finished Marley & Me because I don't wanna cry my eyes out! Chat Icon

I loved this book. A Dog's Purpose is another one of my all time personal favorites.

Thanks for the recommendation. I just finished Oogy about a rescued puppy that was used as bait in a dog fighting ring. Amazing how a dog (or any pet) can change a families life for the better.

You would like One Good Dog by Susan Wilson. It is about a pit that was rescued from the fighting ring but he was the fighter. AWESOME book.

That sounds great. Is it sad or happy?



It has it's sad moments. This is the description.
Enzo knows he is different from other dogs: a philosopher with a nearly human soul (and an obsession with opposable thumbs), he has educated himself by watching television extensively, and by listening very closely to the words of his master, Denny Swift, an up-and-coming race car driver. Through Denny, Enzo has gained tremendous insight into the human condition, and he sees that life, like racing, isn't simply about going fast. Using the techniques needed on the race track, one can successfully navigate all of life's ordeals.

On the eve of his death, Enzo takes stock of his life, recalling all that he and his family have been through: the sacrifices Denny has made to succeed professionally; the unexpected loss of Eve, Denny's wife; the three-year battle over their daughter, Zoë, whose maternal grandparents pulled every string to gain custody. In the end, despite what he sees as his own limitations, Enzo comes through heroically to preserve the Swift family, holding in his heart the dream that Denny will become a racing champion with Zoë at his side.

A heart-wrenching but deeply funny and ultimately uplifting story of family, love, loyalty, and hope, The Art of Racing in the Rain is a beautifully crafted and captivating look at the wonders and absurdities of human life...as only a dog could tell it.
