Dead Dogs

At first when I started My Life in Dog Years I thought it was going to be one sad story after another, ending with the death of a dog in Gary Paulsen's life. It was not to be though! So that was good. And aside from the sad ending to the first short story, the whole book was full of many laughs and smiles and many tales I told to my mom, who also can't handle a dead pet story. It is impossible for me not to love and admire Paulsen as a writer and as a human being. This is one good book and one great guy.
