What an awesome TRUE story. Being the mother of 2 labs (and others) I could totally relate. I lent it to a friend who had it FOREVER... knowing she couldn't get to "the end". She finally did and was in tears. But said it was one of the best books she's ever read.
I just read it a few weeks ago and really liked it. I don't read many books but this one kept me captivated. I cried when I finished it and had to explain to my hubby why I was in tears.
