A coworker of mine, when he heard I was having a little girl, and discovering that I was the owner of two dogs, told me about this book.
“I read it every night to my daughter, who is allergic to dogs, but wants one so badly” said Dave.
“I ADORE this book,” said Jessica.
And I do. I was head over heels, from the very beginning:
“The end of Kate’s bed was a lonely place. Tiger the cat no longer slept there. Tiger died last winter, so there were only Kate’s two feet to keep each other company.”
Maybe it’s the pregnancy hormones, or the still fresh wound of my favorite cat’s death last summer, but I’m not ashamed to say that before the book even properly started I was bawling in that most cathartic, poignant way that we all need once in a while.
