The weird thing is that when I was about ten, I wrote a 'book' very like this. It was from the point of view of a dog that I had met at someone's house who I thought looked like it thought it was quite wise but then it got all excited over a plastic bottle. So I wrote that the dog thought it was a philosopher but basically just sounded really pompous. I think it was mostly so funny because I was taking it all quite seriously and so the result just sounds unintentionally ridiculous. The comedy of this one is similarly gentle and it's a fun, lighthearted read although I'm not sure it's one that will stick in the mind.

It must have missed something in the translation as it seems to have been very well received Sweden... It's not a bad read. I've read a bit of translated northern European stories and it seems to be par for the course. it's a slow story and likely could have used a bit more fleshing out with more anecdotes, but that might just be an American pov. If you love dog stories you might well enjoy this tale. It's pretty short. Just the life of a dog, told by the dog.

This is a book written from a dog's point of view, but it is not witty or funny. Maybe something was lost in the translation. The best part of the book is the illustrations.

This is a very short, funny and heartwarming tale about a philosopher’s, sorry, a dog’s life with his family and some anecdotes of different things that happened.

I really liked both anecdotes though I really enjoyed the one where he made friends with a random man who had been very down on life. The simple exchange between the two just managed to shine the light on how special dogs are, and how one can bring such joy and purpose into your life whilst asking for very little in return.

I liked the end and it was genuinely a very nice image
Of where dogs go once they pass the rainbow bridge. My only complaint would be I would have liked even more anecdotes rather than just the main two. I very much liked Nelson’s voice throughout the short tale, and I also enjoyed the various illustrations throughout.

This is sort of a Swedish version of Spencer Quinn's 'Chet and Bernie' mystery series, except this would be a memoir instead of a mystery! It's told from the dog's point of view, & it's a real nice offering. I did thoroughly enjoy the book, & the dog's view points! There are nice little, like water color drawings, here & there too. It's a cute little read....& offers those of us who love dogs, a nice little view into a dog's possible musings?! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves their pets, or even anyone who just likes animals!
I received this e-galley from NetGalley, simply in exchange for my own fair & honest review.

As a dog lover, I was very interested in reading this book. I was somewhat disappointed. The book is a biographical memoir written as if the dog were telling the story, with some ideas and reflections of the author thrown in (and disguised as the dog’s). The book was interesting. The dog traveled around quite a bit with his owners and got to experience many areas. I felt it was too short to really get any connection between the dog and me, the reader. There were few descriptions of events or meetings that occurred as well as short descriptions on the places the dog and his owners went I felt that if there had been more personal descriptions of events, people and animals encountered, the book might have been more interesting. As it is, the book came across as short and rather bland. A longer book would also have helped pique the reader’s interest. It was an okay read, just not outstanding. I received this form NetGalley to read and review.
