review 1: I'm an animal lover and any story featuring dogs grabs my attention. The story revolves around a Border Collie named Angelo, who after being kidnapped and taken to Texas tries to find his way back home to Colorado.Along the way he meets people who are having problems in their lives, and Angelo proves to be a real angel as he saves their lives. I got a bit teary-eyed reading about the characters and how Angelo touched their lives.If you've ever had a pet go missing, you know the feeling that comes along with it. The author shares his blog about his sadness and worry over Angelo, and as someone who had a dog run away I felt his heartache as I read his blog excerpts.If you're looking for a heartwarming story that proves the adage that animals are angels then I recommend this ... morebook.
review 2: it took me a while to get around to read Angelo’s Journey, because the book came to me in a difficult moment: my own beloved dog was fading quickly, and since books about dogs (or cats) make me cry even in my best moments, I kept postponing reading it.I wish I had read it sooner. I don’t know what to expect… something like Lassie, probably, a sort of adventure book with a dog as its main character, but Angelo’s Joyrney is much more than this. It is a window on both human and canine soul, and while you follow Angelo’s journey and trials you also find yourself enriched by the insights shared by The Man, just as you can recognize our own life and experiences in some of the lives Angelo helped to mend.The book made me cry, of course, but it was worth every single tear. less

I really enjoyed this story. Some parts were tougher to read than others, but an amazing journey.

A little corny and unbelievable for me. Sweet though.
