Ealasaid (enchantedwolf) - , reviewed on 7/1/2010

Helpful Score: 2

I found this book incredibly heartbreaking and it stayed with me for a very long time. I found it sad that the fictional aspects of the story - that of the child who grew to a man who cared for this dog - gave the book more hope and positivity. All in all, I was deeply, deeply moved by this story, and of the Japanese, who collectively, have lovingly honored this dog for generations. It is a testament to their collective caring as a society, as well as the faithfulness of the breed and of this particular dog himself.
