From the beginning, Sanfilippo ensconces us in the mind of Bull, a 120-pound Newfie mix, whose love for his family, his neighbors and anything edible that lands on the floor is unconditional. Most of all though, he loves Jake, his special boy, and it is Jake's life we watch unfold through Bull's gentle and protective eyes. This story will have you smiling, crying and smiling again through your tears.

I really enjoyed this book. It has its exhilarating moments but it also brought me to tears several times in a very good, emotional way. Sanfilippo's writing is clean and skillful. Writing from the dog’s point of view is engaging and kept me turning the pages. This book is much more than a story about a dog. It's also about the boy's (Jake) coming-of-age story and a love story. This truly is a memorable feel-good novel that stays with you. If you have a dog or any pet that you love or have loved in the past, you will definitely find delight in reading this book.

A heartwarming story of friendship, family and the unconditional love between a (my) boy and his dog, Bull.This book brought back so many memories of days gone by, the joy of growing up surrounded by family, friends, caring neighbors, and of course the one constant, my dog. Thank you Jake, Bull, and Sal, for sharing your story. Wonderful first book.
