This book was WONDERFUL! Even though I have never owned a dog (or had one own me...only have a granddog), I laughed so much while reading this book that people kept looking at me like I was nuts! Dean Koontz books have always had my interest, I especially love to read the ones that have included dogs. There are always wonderful meanings and love included in each and every one. This one outdoes all of the others that I have read by this author(man). Not only do you read a wonderful story about a beautiful, loving, feeling dog, but you learn about the man and his special partner that became mommy and daddy to this special animal. What a gift this book is to those that pick it up. Well worth your time and money.

What a wonderful, heart-warming story! This is not just an "I love my dog" story in which the dog dies in the end. The dog does die, but Koontz doesn't stop there; there is a wonderful surprise at the end.

This is also the story of Koontz's life, and how his dog changed his and his wife's lives, who never had children of their own. You will learn a little bit about service dogs, and Koontz writes about his philosophies about life, people, and dogs, too. Yes, this book might make you cry, but it will also make you smile and laugh aloud. You won't regret taking the time to read it.

I have been a Dean Koontz fan since his first publication but never has he shown himself until, A BIG LITTLE LIFE! The copy I received from a member is the first book of any kind that I've recommended to my friends and family. That copy is now circulating among my family. I was a breeder, trainer and owner of dogs since the day I was born. Never has an author showed the
âhuman side,â of dogs than what Mr. Koontz did in this book. If you're an animal lover, no matter the critter you love, I encourage you to read this book but keep a box of tissues nearby:)

A beautiful story about a very special unique dog and how she inspired her owners. Every dog lover will want to read this one.
