The Story of Edgar Sawtelle

After getting past the first hurdle of many that made me throw this book in a dark corner, I finally managed to finish The Story of Edgar Sawtelle today. It is a complete twist on what I had initially imagined the storyline to be, but obviously, that made for a better book. Of course, my favorite part had to be the dogs. As fictional as this breed of "Sawtelle dogs" is, I can't help but believe that I have witnessed similar thoughtfulness and love from my own history of dogs. I miss the company of these wonderful creatures and cannot wait to welcome one, or two (or three!), alongside me in the future.
