A Dog of My Own
It was a great book. I felt the emotion and I absolutely love dogs so this was a good choice for me. I thought it was funny and emotional but also very entertaining. I couldn’t get myself out of it for more than a minute!!!;)
Highly Recommended
I really loved this book. It’s probably the first book I’ve ever read without getting bored in like 5 minutes. I love dogs so this book was ideal for me. 5 stars.
