I have loved everything I've read by Sharon Creech, and Love that Dog is no different. I knew it was going to be a fast read, but she packed so much love and tender emotion into such a small space. It warmed my heart and pulled on my heart strings. Anyone who has loved and lost a pet will be able to relate. 

It is beautiful to see Jack be allowed to express himself and share his feelings in such a supported format. We can always use more books about people, especially men and boys, being allowed to feel and express their emotions. ♡
