I just downloaded this book on Amazon.  It's selling for $3.79....I'm always looking for a cheap, good read.   Looks like this may fill the bill.

"Endal"   by Alan & Sandra Parton.... here is the description of the book as copied from Amazon.

The remarkable story of Endal, voted ‘Dog of the Millennium’, and how, through his remarkable skills, companionship and unstinting devotion, he gave Allen Parton a reason to live again.

Allen Parton was seriously injured while serving in the Gulf War. He lost the use of both of his legs, plus all memories of his children and much of his marriage. He was left unable to walk, talk or write - isolated in his own world. After five years of intensive therapy and rehab, he was still angry, bitter and unable to talk. Until a chance encounter with a Labrador puppy - Endal - who had failed his training as an assistance dog on health grounds. They 'adopted' each other, and Endal became Allen's reason to communicate with the outside world, to come to terms with his injuries, and to want to live again. Not content with learning over 200 commands to help Allen complete everyday tasks like getting dressed and going out to the shops in his wheelchair, Endal gave Allen the ability to start living again, and to become a husband and father again in his own special way. This is the incredible story of Allen, his wife Sandra, and his family. And, of course, Endal.

Well, I have recommended it before, but I am now looking for a book called "Merle's Door" about a dog who was picked up on a rafting trip on the Colorado River and then "adopted" by a man in Wyoming.  I think he might have been an Indian dog, they are independent like that.  Anyway, my goldendoodle is dying and I wanted to reread the book.  Looked through my books, but can't find it so I probably gave it to someone.  I know if I buy another copy, it will turn up.

HI  How exciting a Doodle Book Club.  Yes, The Art of Racing in the Rain is a major good read, loved it.  May I recommend "A Fort of Nine Towers "  good true story of Afghanistan, told by a man growing up there.  Would love to hear others comments.  I am plugging through Sarum by Edward Rutherford.  Love ancient history and different cultures.  Any suggestions??  So happy to be a part of this group.....thank you, Kate

I read The Glass Castle years ago.  I have to say it held my interest but couldn't help just getting frustrated and angry with both the parents for their "choices" and the author for her tolerance of their nonsense.   Kudos for her for moving on with her life in spite of them.   However, in spite of the subject matter, the book was well written.
