This is like a walk down memory lane with mention of books I read years ago -- and they are still good books!
In a more contemporary vein, I've got three to recommend.
"A Dog's Purpose" by W. Bruce Cameron. Not at all like "Art of Racing in the Rain" but then again it's a lot like it. It spoke to my heart and lifted my spirits. Fast read. Keep your Puffs nearby.
Next two are Christmas-specific and would be great gift books:
"The Christmas Dog" by Melody Carlson. Heartwarming, often humorous. A good story line that's very lightly Christian but not intrusively so. Nice ending.
"A Dog Named Christmas" by Greg Kincaid. Set in Kansas (my state), by a Kansas author. To quote from the summary: "peace on earth and good will toward men...and animals." Delightful!
I'll be watching this thread for more suggestions!

Not a novel but one of the best "coffee table" books is "Dog Hero's of September 11th" Superb photos, great bios of the dogs and handlers, and a memorial to all those that worked and searched for live people.
Great reading and looking for all ages. Tough to read and keep dry eyes though.

how about
Hurry Home Candy
by:Meindert DeJong.
I remember a teacher reading us this book in class, and from what my mom told me they had to call her to come pick me up because i was crying too much and they couldn't console me.
I picked up the book a few years later, and it still made me cry.
Im curious to know if anyone else has read it??
Recently read "Dog on it" and I would recommend it also! David Rosenfelt's Andy Carpenter series books are good too! I'm currently reading books in a series by Shirley Rousseau Murphy where the cats Joe and Dulcie tell the story.
I did not like "A Good Dog: The Story of Orson" by John Katz.
