Review Quote
“Pete Nelson has spun a beautiful ballad out of the humblest elements: an old dog, a drinking problem, a Minnesota family and a woman torn between two lovers. He’s also written a truly outstanding talking-dog story. With exquisite tone control, Nelson has given us a story that’s sweet and loving but never sentimental. This could easily be the book the smarter people in Lake Wobegon might be reading on the couch on a Sunday afternoon, when football’s not in season.”
—The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“Paul’s thoughts are read simply and in a straightforward fashion that seems just right for the character’s many interior monologues. Clark is especially good as the calming voice of Stella [Paul’s faithful dog], who has her master pretty well pegged yet loves him, warts and all.”
—Booklist
“I literally found myself at points laughing and at other points crying.”
