I hope everyone will read the words of the author cautioning readers about this book. It's a very sad story of what happens when older dogs are torn away from their families. It will ring true with anyone who has fostered dogs or visited the local pound.Horace is a well loved older dog living out his days with his companion, Bilbo, and his owners. Then the unthinkable happens and despite circumstances force the dogs to fend for themselves. The writing evokes deep sympathy for the grieving Horace as he tries to make sense of his plight.This is a quick but emotional read that will make the reader hug and appreciate his pups, but also worry about them.Highly recommended
