Another doggy memoir I thought on picking this up, I’ll read this first, it won’t take long... Well, spectacular misjudgement on my part. This is no pot-boiler, it’s a deeply charged and passionate look at the role of companion animals set against the author’s own experience of traumatic life events.
It was chance Bel Mooney found Bonnie and this tiny dog was the lifesaver she needed. Dogs give unconditional love and when life falls apart their constancy is invaluable. Interspersed throughout the book are observations and insights into the role of companion animals and there is always adorable, irrepressible Bonnie. A really captivating book, hard to put down and definitely not just another doggy memoir.
