review 1: Between putting this book on my "To Read" list and checking out the book from the library, I had the opportunity to hear Teresa Rhyne speak about writing her book and her new book. She was delightfully as humorous as the book is. Her beagle is definitely a dog with a mind of his own. I am not a dog lover, but enjoyed laughing about the way Seamus ruled the roost!. Loved the "love story with Chris" and how he helped her through her cancer treatments and their relationship with his mother. An enjoyable book on many interest levels.
review 2: I am a proud dog owner of a mini schnauzer so I have a tendency to have a soft spot for animal books. I will also freely admit that I am biased to 3+ stars when rating animal books! With that said I was easily drawn int... moreo the story initially simply because it involved dogs, but fell in love with this book because of the resilience, love and inspiration found not only in Seamus but within the owner (author/Teresa) too. As a wife of a cancer survivor I know the bouts that cancer patients face and found myself crying and laughing mutually for both Seamus and Teresa. The writing is done in a way that draws the reader in resulting in the inability to not care deeply for the outcome of both - dog and human. Teresa found a way to describe not only her journey but painted Seamus' journey beautifully without him every uttering a word in a human language to her. I found that part especially heart warming and further solidifying for me the bond between dog and owner by way of all of the unspoken words that crosses between the two species. This is a book, in my opinion, of love, surrender, survival, and hope. Bravo Teresa! Well done! less
