Swapna: It will definitely make you cry - but its worth it :) Serena: I liked the ending! To me it represented some hope (although I don't believe in reincarnation)...I always think that someday I'll get to see Caribou again (although not on this earth but in Heaven!)

I'm sure it was hard for you to read. The passages you quoted were ones I loved too. I hope you get to meet the author one day! He's quite the cutie! ;-) I’m so glad you loved this book!

There were moments when I would be reading and then look at my dogs and think "yes, I believe it". The zebra scene finally explained why I find so many chewed up off limits articles scattered around the house. Lovely review!

Shona: Sometimes the best books are the ones that are the most difficult to read. I hope you'll enjoy this book. Kailana: Thanks! I think there are a lot of readers out there who feel as we do. Kay: Thank you! Will look forward to hearing your thoughts. Diane: I think being an animal lover definitely makes this book even better. I bet the audio was wonderful! Kathy: Of course they have thoughts and emotions!! *smiles* Glad you felt as I did! Pam: I'm sorry the book didn't work for you. I know some readers were put off with the racing language...although I thought it worked as metaphor for life. Staci: My bet is you will love spending time with Enzo! Lisa: I think it says a lot about Stein's writing that this book appealed to someone like yourself who is not a dog person...and you're right, I never forgot a dog was narrating, but he felt like an equal to the humans he was sharing his life with. Michelle: Thanks for following my blog! Always glad to have another animal lover reading along with me :) I bet you'll love this book - but have tissues on hand. Thank you so much for the award! Teddy: I'd forgotten you'd already read the book...no great surprise that we both loved it, eh? Jeane: I don’t think you’ll be the last to read it :) It is a really good book…hope you’ll enjoy it.
