This is a good enough book to recommend, but not superb. The audio used different voices for the 2 different points of view, and that was good; writing in the dog's point of view was both amusing and thought provoking, though not profound. What I liked best about the book was the series of contrasts in the major character. The reader recognizes and dislikes Adam's snobbishness, but ends up pulling for him. Adam disregards those he must serve who are "lowly", yet he becomes like them. He doesn't want a dog, then he gets stuck with one. He brushes aside the feelings of someone else who lost his dog, then he understands when his own dog goes missing. He doesn't want to think about his sister, but then she consumes his thinking. Every single character points up something about himself that ends up changing. It's a bit pat, but it gets the point across without being too trite. We all recognize a bit of ourselves in some way in the book. The dog and man are like each other: so many people judge a pit bull as unacceptable without getting to know the dog, and so many judge other people by impressions or appearances without getting to know them.
