About this listen

In this heartwarming story, perfect for fans of An Unexpected Grace and A Dog’s Way Home, a single mom learns that her chronically ill son can communicate with a very special dog - and the lessons this dog teaches can shape the future and transform their lives. And what Whistler inspires in Kate and Jasper may be his most important lesson of all.

Definitely credit worthy. I'd love to see this as a movie. I love this narrator but sor some reason I had to increase the speed so the speech was faster. Fantastic story!!!!

Nick Trout, the author of this book, hit me with a bull’s-eye right in my heart. Never in my life have I listened to a description of our relationship with dogs that is better than this one. he made me laugh. He made me cry. He made me realize a bunch of things that are deep truths about our relationship with our canine friends.

What an amazing book!

This story is about many things, the courage of humans and the courage of dogs, where they find common ground and they way they can lift each other up across species. It illuminates the enormous role dogs play in the lives of modern people. People who understand dogs will "get" this book.

I am a dog person. have read all of Nick Trouts other books. liked the underlying premise but wish I would have read this book versus listening to it. His other books are better

Slow but good

I love story I love the storyline should be a required reading for middle school age. Shame on Disney for not making the movie. Hopefully it will be a movie and hopefully soon.

Compassion

This is a very heart warming story. But be warned, if you haven’t ever adopted a rescue, you definitely will want to after you finish this sweet story. The magic of truly letting your self love a dog with an unfiltered childlike abandon. Really captures the fear and anxieties of a parent caring for a child with a chronic illness.
