Review: Beloved and Loved
Rating: 5 out of 5

The first thing you need to know about The Girls is that it's a very short read. The second thing you need to know, is that you will laugh and you will cry (unless you have a heart of stone)!The Girls tells the story from the point of view of an owner of two beloved dogs, Jenny and Prima. Jenny is a springer who had some special power to divine the needs and wants of her owner. I could not stop laughing as I read about Jenny's escapades that ranged from eating a whole palm tree (resulting in atrocious gas) to using some kind of special nature radar to pin-point her owner's location inside of a coffee shop. Prima, a shepherd mix, joins the pair and is taken under Jenny's wing (meaning Jenny shows her the ropes).I have three fur-kidz of my own at home. They are treated as if they were children of my own flesh & blood. I love them dearly. I could completely relate to the story when the author said Jenny could divine her owner's wishes. There are times I swear my dogs understand everything I'm saying when I speak to them. They truly are one of nature's best species - they certainly are superior to some people I've met. And if you have a dog, or if you even like dogs, I will exchange stories with you for hours and hours. So it's no surprise that The Girls found a fan in me.Warning - you will laugh for 99% of this book, until the end - then you'll need to grab tissues, lots and lots of tissues!Overall rating: 5 out of 5 starsAppropriate for ages: All ages***I received a free eBook of The Girls from Goodreads-Making Connections in exchange for an honest review.***
