A Dog's Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron

My first review of the year

it was amazing
This book.
I did not expect to find myself laughing (while using the elliptical bike at the gym) - out loud. Cameron perfectly captured the love, loyalty and confidence of dogs.
I expected to feel sad.
I did not expect to find myself - back on the elliptical bike the next day - bawling and having to put the book down so that I could compose myself and clear my vision to keep reading.

I loved this book.
