★★★★★ for both books!
I've been just chewing through books this past month, but these two are probably the best books of the year. I highly recommend them to dog/animal lovers. I laughed out loud, by myself, like an idiot; I cried, real tears rolling down my cheeks. I was smiling and crying at the end of the second book, feeling so satisfied and happy. Best ending I can imagine for the story.
The story is told from a dog's perspective and follows him through several lifetimes. He finds a distinct purpose in each life, using the skills he learned in the previous life. He believes that he kept coming back because he has yet to fulfill his purpose as a dog, and in his last life of the first book, he believes that he has realized and fulfilled his purpose as the story comes to full circle.
The second book picks up where the first book left off, and introduces a new story arch. The dog, named Molly and Max in these lifetimes, follows a girl throughout her lifetime, and takes care of her. Yes, the dog takes care of her girl. This book will make you think twice: are you taking care of your dog, or is your dog taking care of you?
I love how the story's point of view. It offers insights to why dogs behave a certain way, do curtain things (such as chew up your favorite pair of shoes, which make me literally laugh out loud). I wanted to hold my dog the entire time I was reading this book; it makes me appreciate my dog so much more. Doesn't matter if you like the story or not, you will look at your dog differently after you finish the story.
Easy, fast, fun read. Pick up your copy NOW.
