I loved this short story so much. It's about a six-year-old girl, Emily, (who suffers a spinal injury in a car accident from which she may never walk again), and the guardian angel that comes to her as her new pet dog, Lulu. It is told from the dog's point of view as Emily grows up to become a young woman and slowly recovers along the way. This beautifully written and touching story really packed an emotional punch and you may need some tissues handy. Lulu stole my heart. I loved it! ( )

This was a hard book for me to read. Being an animal lover and having lost, through the years, five of our doggie loved ones. I found it sad but also uplifting. I thought it was very well written and would recommend it to others to read. ( )
