Because of a Dog

""Because of a Dog had me laughing out loud in one line and unexpectedly reaching for the tissue box and browsing flights to small Italian towns in the next. It's a rare blend of wit and poignancy that will deeply move anyone who has ever loved a dog."" -- Christina Hunger, New York Times bestselling author of How Stella Learned to Talk ""Matthew Sigman has created something special in these pages: an inviting space where anyone who has ever grieved the loss of deep love--and isn't that all of us?--can gather to bathe in the healing waters of shared human experience. I found myself rereading entire passages for the sheer elegance of the writing and its ability to transport me to places my heart had not visited in a very long time. Sigman has that rare gift of storytelling that invites the reader along on the adventure, not as observer but participant."" -- John Grogan, author of Marley & Me
