I only picked this up at a grocery store to read between dropping off Don and starting work, but once I started it I couldn't put it down. Now I must read the the first book, "A Dog's Purpose."

I don’t know why I didn’t read this sooner.

I have never liked a book written from an animals’s perspective but this book actually had the dog seeming like a dog and not a human.

Fun take on the haunting idea. Liked the fact that the "ghost" couldn't just read his thoughts. Not sure how I felt about lotner dying in ruddy' place. Romance was a bit questionable, even if she did feel bad about spitting on him, if she knew about the ring or just how suspicious his discovery of the body seemed, would she fall for him that quickly?liked the device of the ghost having control while Ruddy slept. Will certainly try another

This book left me feeling conflicted. Yes , I cried repeatedly at the touching scenes, but I wondered about "the dogs purpose." It seemed unfair to reduce the dog's purpose solely to making the person happy-but isn't that what I do to a certain extent in having a dog as a pet? Made me think
