This book touched my heart and soul. Whilst Rona is hesitant at getting a dog at first she reluctantly goes along and soon finds herself in the best unconditional love relationship we can only ever have from our 'pets' Through Casey she connects with more people than she ever expected was possible through their mutual love of dogs. A thoroughly enjoyable, heartwarming and thought provoking read it left me smiling at my furbabies.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
