Good Boy!

Thanks, Bruce, for this breath of fresh air. Sometimes we just need a book that takes us away and feels like a belly scratch, and this is it. Liam and his beloved three dogs--Riggs, an Australian shepherd, Luna, a Jack Russell and Archie, a doodle puppy-- all get separated through unfortunate circumstances. Will the strong herding instinct of Riggs save the day? Or is it too late? You'll have to read it to find out! And I would if I were you.

Besides the warm fuzzy aspect, this book really does make one think about how dogs see us, think about their days, etc. A great book all around.

This thoughtful book taught me a lot about the nature of human trafficking and how we have all probably been beneficiaries of someone else's bad fortune. The author references historical patterns of such importation of people for hard labor, but unfortunately the practice didn't end with the opening of the railroad. Folks we probably pass on the street every day have been trafficked for labor, and are often caught in a hamster wheel, afraid to go to the authorities for obvious reasons. Very insightful and honestly, discouraging.

HATED everything about it. I'm not a fan of the genre, so that's not the author's fault. He can write, however I felt that he overused similes for the majority of the book. I won't quote as it was an ARC and perhaps it was edited prior to publishing. I couldn't wait to finish.
