~Favorite Animal Stories~


While I am still in the middle of reading a great memoir right now, and don't have any reviews to write, I thought I would write a short post about my favorite pet/animal stories.

Some are true, some fictional, but these are my top favorites. If you are a pet lover, and haven't read any of these, you need to add them to your TBR list!

~Homer's Odyssey by Gwen Cooper~


~My Cat Spit McGee by Willie Morris~


~When Katie Wakes by Connie May Fowler~


~One Good Dog by Susan Wilson~


~The Art of Racing In The Rain by Garth Stein~


~Wesley the Owl: The Remarkable Story of an Owl and His Girl by Stacy O'Brien~


~Snowflake In My Hand by Samantha Mooney~

~Bark If You Love Me by Louise Bernikow~


~Grayson by Lynne Cox~

~Giv: The Story of A Dog and America by Boston Teran~


~The Dog Who Rescues Cats: The True Story of Ginny by Phillip Gonzalez~


~The Blessing of the Animals: True Stories of Ginny, the Dog Who Rescues Cats by Phillip Gonzalez

What are YOUR favorites?

Oh, "When Katie Wakes" is sitting on my bookshelf yet unread. I'll have to get to it one of these days.

That is a good list, Missy! Hope you have a great week....

I really hesitate to read animal stories because they always end the same way, and I always end up crying. I know that they have to end that way, but it really makes me upset!

The endings of some of these are fine, I promise you. The story about Homer is wonderful, as is Spit McGee....and the Ginny stories are awesome! :) I understand though, some of these are very sad at the end.

Oh my word!!! I commented here a while ago, but I guess it was during the time Blogger was having problems and posts and comments all around the world (no really!) disappeared! I don't even remember all that I said.

I do remember saying that I own the book "When Katie Wakes" by Connie May Fowler, but I haven't read it yet.
