This is the story of Reuben, Archer and Frosty; three large-breed rescue dogs taken in and loved by the Zusak family over several years. So it's a (true) story about dogs, but it's also about cats and writing and family, it being Zusak's first memoir. It made me laugh and cry and nod my head in recognition.I loved the author sharing his story. This was a great book for dog lovers, or any animals lovers., but I think many people will enjoy it.

Thank you NetGalley for the audio arc to preview.

Real perspective of life with a shelter dog. The antics and craziness. The training involved and the chaos of life with a dog that perhaps no one else wanted, but the dog chose you! Loved the honesty and perspective. Narration by the author was a plus!

This memoir about family and adopted rescue dogs sounded cute and I am a HUGE fan of The book thief written by this author but for some reason I just couldn't get into it. I think having the author narrate the book (which I usually love) might have been a mistake? He spoke rather fast and it just wasn't a story that grabbed me unfortunately. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an opportunity to listen to an early ALC in exchange for my honest thoughts.
