While this was a good story, it's heartbreaking and haunting. It was a book I could not put out of my mind for a long time and I found it so incredibly sad that it was one of the few I was sorry I'd read. I was sorry because I couldn't get the sadness and heartbreak out of my mind. I wish it could have had a happier ending, but then it wouldn't be the same story or have the same impact. If you love dogs you'll have a hard time reading this book.
