Fall in love with Bogart – 5 stars
Bogart is a basset hound who thinks he’s a bad dog and is terrified this means he is going to be doomed to doggy Hell. He has a plan, though, to keep that horrible fate from happening: he’ll do some good deeds to help repair his karma. Unfortunately for Bogart, things never seem to work out as planned.
Told from Bogart’s point-of-view, you get to meet his human Swifty, his girlfriend Ginger, and a cast of other characters, both human and critter as he tries his best to mend his ways while lusting after bacon and hot dogs.
Please note, this is not a children’s book and is not meant to be read to children. Despite the book’s premise and its characters, there are scenes that are definitely unsuitable for children.
It is an endearing, poignant, and heartwarming story that will make you laugh, chuckle, nod your head in agreement at times, and even cause a lump to form in your throat and tears in your eyes. This book covers all of the bases, including a bittersweet love story.
Highly recommended.
