Recommendation

I would not read the book again because i don’t like reading but if
i had to i would.i did like the book because it had people loving
animals just like me.recently my dads dog lola died my step
grandmas dog precious died my step aunts dog deisle recently
died and my step brothers dog jack has an eye problem.so any
book is good if it involves pets unless they are in pain.
