Aftermath
"She 'taught me more about life than any teacher I ever had,' Breslin writes, 'and she never said a word.' Breslin is just the man to find those words. Grover Gardner narrates with the consummate skill of an AudioFile Golden Voice."
"A sweet, sad tribute to that purest of all relationships."
"A Labrador retriever taught Breslin more about life than any teacher had…His hymn to Miss Dutchie is heartwarming and heartbreaking."
"Dutchie is as clearly drawn as any literary figure, and Breslin's love and gratitude toward her are palpable."
"Breslin writes intensely and emotionally about psychic pain, grief, and the loss of friends and dogs."
"A moving story of love, death, and recovery."
"So pleasurable to read that it almost overcomes the underlying pain and loss at its heart."
"Half elegy, half life lessons, Breslin's book eulogizes a great-hearted Labrador retriever who taught her master the joy of living."
"An intense book, a real page turner, one of the best and also one of the most unusual, celebrating the human-animal bond. It's the kind of book that one remembers for a very long time."
