Default Dog lovers...

Read a wonderful book over Christmas called "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein. The book is written from the dog's perspective. Warning: You WILL cry!

I so want to read that book but I just can't!! Just like I couldn't read Marley and Me or Old Yeller either...I would be a sloppy mess by page 6!!! I did hear it is a great book though!!

I have read it too. Very good, but will make you cry...
I have another book to recommend though. LOVED IT! and no crying required. It is, Dog on It: A Chet and Bernie Mystery by Spencer Quinn.
Told through the dogs words... He is the canine partner to a private detective. Great combination for someone who loves dogs and mystery's. So Good!! I'm hoping this is just the beginning of series of books by this author. He's on to something here...

I just bought a Kindle -I hope these books are on their list (which to me seems a little disappointing at the moment, but maybe I haven't investigated it enough yet). Anyone else have a Kindle -or another e-reader?
