Booking Through Thursday: Dog Days

This weeks BTT asks:

Since my dog is turning 10 today … what animal-related books have you read? Which do you love? Do you have a favorite literary dog? (Snoopy, anyone?)

In all honesty, regardless of the fact that I am an animal lover, I don’t read many books with animals in them. However, I have read some.

The first book I can remember reading that had dogs in the forefront was Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls.

The book is about a boy and his two Coonhounds. I absolutely loved the book, all the way until the end, where I cried, and cried, and cried. Then I cried some more.

This is one of those books that has always stuck with me, and the one that stands out the most when it comes to dogs.

For anyone who is curious… Here are my own two pupsters Jack (bottom) and Jill (top).
