This is one of my all time favorite books. Very simple, it is about a man and his little dog Lily, a dachshund. The doggie has a serious medical condition and the book tells the story of how the owner deals ( and doesn't deal) with his beloved dog's condition. The owner also has some life challenges that he is dealing with at the same time. His efforts to address his dog's illness are touching and heart wrenching, but there is a lot of humor as well.
I have a small dog who is getting on in age and we have even had a health scare in the last year. This book captures in my opinion how much dogs are part of us and how attached we can be to them. I once read that dogs were put on this earth to teach us about unconditional love and death. This book captures all that and more. Like another reviewer noted, a miraculous this has happened--now, when I talk to my dog which is often, my dog talks back to me! Who knew!
I liked this book so much because, in addition to the emotional element (be prepared to laugh and cry on the same page,) it is an unusual  handling of a dog's voice, as well as an understandable development of the author's life at the time of the action.
This one one of those books I could not put down and I am an avid reader and dog owner.
I have recommended this book to many friends, but be prepared to be reading  it with a box of kleenex nearby.

What a joy to read.  The book really pulls you in to the life of the boy and his pooch.  Even though I grew up in a different time and place this book brings back great memories.  A must read for all dog lovers and those  who love to remember simpler times.

I had heard about the book on Facebook, since I follow Handsome Dan, Vicktory for Cherry, Oscar and Little Red. I had the Lost dogs book also. I have read it 3 times now over the years. About 3 years ago I was able to read the whole book without breaking down. It is such a strong story. I have a few family and friends that don't agree with my views on these "Vicktory" dogs. But we agree to disagree.

Whether you love dogs or are a human interest person, this is a wonderful book. I've had this on my Kindle for some time and finally it was time to read the book. The writing is superb, humorous, thoughtful and profound all wrapped up in this nice book.  I laughed at the antics of the guys as well as the dogs in the book. I appreciated the food stories as our own little dog often rejected food and had problems. When we lost our little love dog last Spring, I just couldn't bring myself to read this book. Now I don't know why! It is a book about life with a dog in the house and yet it is a healing story that all dog lovers go through. We remember them always and I, for one, know there must be a doggie heaven because they sure bring lots of pleasure to us here on earth. I highly recommend this book and hope you love it as much as I did.

I  loved this book. Relatable and heart warming, I fell in love with the author, his wife and his precious dogs. Some unbelievable tales with his beloved tails.
Don't miss it, you will laugh and cry.

I love Lisa Begin-Kruysman's writing anyway, but this is her best. I'm a dog lover, and it was wonderful to read about Will Judy and his love for our canine friends. We need more Will Judys in this world, and I hope National Dog Week will take off. One of the best biographies I've ever read. Makes a great gift to dog owners, too.

This is a great book that every dog lover should read.  Beyond the fact that the book is great and extremely entertaining, all the author proceeds are donated to Canine Companions.  CC is an organization formed to supply specific service dogs to people with very special needs.  I bought the book new rather than used to ensure CC would get their donation.

I loved this book. As the owner of several working dogs I was recommended this book. It takes you through every emotion and has become one of my favorite books and I have searched high and low for hard copies to give to friends as gifts.

If you love dogs, I really think you will love this book.  Bruce Cameron has a way of describing a dog's movements that ring true and then getting inside their head to match those movements to thoughts they would have.  I love my own dog even more after reading this book!

This was a wonderful book full of great times with friends and their dogs.  But,It was really the story of one man and a remarkable dog and how they learned to know each other in ways I didn't know was possible between humans and animals.  The way they learned to rely on each other was nothing short of amazing.  The  discription of the trips they took hiking, canoeing, sking and hunting and just walking about took me along for the trip.

The way he treated this dog was that of a member of the family with responsibilities resulting in this dog learning many words and showing a remarkable ability to think.  Through out there are laughs and feelings of amazement at what this dog was able to understand and do.

I can readily understand why he took so long after this dog passed to get another dog.  Merle was so special you could never replace him and finding another dog to fill his paw prints would be very very difficult.  The results of having this great dog and then losing him startsTed Kersote undertaking the monumental task of finding a way to extend the lives of these faithful friends, our dogs.

Now that is the next novel written by Ted and what he finds on one of the most extensive journeys through out the world to discover what needs to be done to extend the lives of our pets both dogs and cats.  It is also the greatest story of Ted looking for and finding his next best friend Pukka.  Be sure to read the next book.

This book is absolutely hilarious with adorable pictures of Frankie and LuLu and their friends.  Being a dog lover, I can appreciate the thought that went into writing this book.  I am a big fan of Donna Cavanagh's.  You can't go wrong with any book written by her.  Now if only I can get my Chihuahua to read this and be a better, well-behaved dog.

Simply AWESOME. One of the best books I have ever owned.  From the cover art, the jacket art and the contents; this book is a must for every dog lover.
I must warn you this book will make you cry and be greatful every day for the blessings in your life. For the dog owner (I have two 14 year old Goldens and a 8 year old Lab) it makes you want to take on the challenge of helping this great cause.
I purchase many books through Amazon, however; I purchased this one directly from the [...] so that they would receive a greater chunk of the change.  I have no conection to them though. YET!
Do yourself and someone less fortunate than yourself that you have never met a great big favor and buy this book.  I promise that you will be glad that you did.
