dog books

Today would be a good day to start my next book group novel, The Art of Racing in the Rain. Aside from the fact that I'll be trying to lose a pound an hour before my college reunion this weekend, I'm just not that excited by a book with a dog on the cover.  I like dogs. Really. We once had the best dog ever and I still wish for another. But dog books, or dog-narrated books do nothing for me.  (Have I ever read one?  Probably not.) I'll keep you posted.
