Lovely! I love stories that try to show us the view of the world from animal’s perspective since they can’t talk to us. This will be an interesting book. Well done!

I love pet stories in which the story is told from the pet's point of view. I'd love to read the full story about Gma and Mr. McTavish. Thanks for the amazing review.

There at people in the world who would do anything to make sure their pets are alright because of the bond they share with them.

I am a big advocate for stories that emphasize kindness, thoughtfulness, and caring towards not only humans but animals as well. Our children are exposed to so much these days that old values are often not a priority. I am so grateful to authors who take the time to instill values through stories such as this. Thank you for the review. I enjoyed reading it.

I like the moral lessons in this book. Indeed, obedience, gratitude, and kindness are one of the most important traits a child or adult has. I appreciate how Gma donated to the library, which taught readers that sharing can make the world a better place. I love the bonding of Gma and Mr. McTavish, the dog, in this book. And the illustrations are perfect and gorgeous! Congratulations to the author on BOTD!

Human- pet relationships portray care and kindness which is quite relatable to children reading this novel. The imagery is appealing to children, it makes this book more vivid for the target audience.

Post by Sharon Eunice »

This would be the book for anyone who loves books to read to their children or have children who like to read themselves. The dog is the narrator of the book. Mr. McTavish, the dog's name, is brilliant too! When Ema, his people person, says a specific word he knows exactly what she is talking about.

The prospect of reading a book where a pet, particularly a dog, is given the opportunity to speak about their owner seems like a fascinating and unique concept. I am curious to learn about the backstory and how the author achieved this intriguing perspective. I am eager to delve into the book and discover more about the pet's perspective on their relationship with their owner.

I like the portrayal of the dog, Mr. McTavish, in the story since I think that the dog's hype for his owner is very accurate of how a dog seems to be so enthusiastic when they are with their human owners.
Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

Mr McTavish protects Gma and she takes good care of him. He loves going everywhere, as long as he is with Gma. He loves children and is thrilled when Gma takes him to school. A lovely surprise awaits him there.
