My brother-in-law recommended that I read “A Dog’s Purpose” by W. Bruce Cameron, telling me that if I wasn’t moved at least twice in the book I “wasn’t human”. I took that as a challenge, and failed.
I don’t really want to give away any parts of the book for you, other than he has multiple lives (much like his feline cousins) so we will stick with the very general features of the story.
It’s told from a dog’s perspective, although it kind of has a 3/4 perspective so that you as a human can also pick up on things that blow by the dog that he just dismisses as babble. He also doesn’t much care for cats, although most of my dogs actually like my cat.
They probably would agree that they’re smarter than the cat though (which would probably be inaccurate.)
It’s mostly humorous, with some more dramatic and suspenseful portions. You could easily read the book in 2-3 sessions, and will definitely prove you to be human or not.
And it’s written by the “8 Simple Rules” guy. No, not the one that died, the other one. I haven’t read that book, so don’t hold it against me.
