Jimmy Buffett - musician
"I am blown away by this story. It's not just moving and well-told ... it also teaches us what is universal in the navigation of the earth we share as its creatures; how both dogs and man can be each other's salvation if we could only learn to love and trust each other as we face the plights we share ... How utterly unexpected and uplifting. It makes me want to start all over again at the very beginning and try this thing called living one more time ... and get it better."
Rachel Manley
