Publisher's summary

When Tom reluctantly agrees to take a small, black Lab off a friend’s hands as a favor, he has no way of knowing how close he and his new dog will become, and the puppy has no way of knowing the adventures that await him. On the way to becoming the most popular dog in the town of Oakville, the young Lab not only wins over his new master but also wins the heart of Tom's girlfriend, Hope, and an old veterinarian’s respect. A mischievous, white cat, hungry coyotes, and a terrible accident are just a few of the obstacles waiting for the young Lab in this story of a dog’s bravery and perseverance.

I feel in love with Rex!

I am such a dog lover, I really wanted to read this book. This book was awesome. It grabbed my heart from the 1st chapter on. I was kind of afraid this would be more driven towards children but it really wasn't. I am in my 40s and it definitely kept me interested the entire time

I loved how alot of it was written from the dogs POV. If you are a dog lover I highly recommend this book.

Narration was good. Nice and relaxing that just really helped the story move along.

I voluntarily asked to review this book, and was thankfully chosen and voluntarily left this review. as you can see from a lot of my reviews and I am very honest in my reviews

Great book for dog lovers!

What a fun and touching book about, as you’d expect it, a black lab that we follow from the beginning of his life to the very end. Yes, it gets to the end but it’s an untold end with a flashforward in the future so no real dog death to go through.

That’s a recommended read/listen to me. The narrator again took me a little to get used to. I found him a bit flat at first but it fets better as you get into the story.

Thanks to the author for the free credit in exchange of my honest review. This is as honest as it gets.

Touches your heart

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Such a good book. At the beginning I was like ok so this guy get a special lab... what’s going to happen. Has to be something special in order to the book to a hit thus far. And this is a wonderful book about the life of Rex the bob-tailed lab. Rex is such a sweetheart and an amazing protector. Working the veterinary field you know just what an animal can do and the vet in this book is so great for encouraging Rex’s owner to still let him complete in the jump-a-thon after his accident and having major surgery which left him with 3 legs. And I do appreciate Thomas Kendrick for putting the part where Rex starts to be aggressive towards a particular person that was the cause of his accident. I can tell you that even though owners may never find out what happened to their animals, the animal never forgets.
This book definitely pulled on my heartstrings.
I plan to read it to my kids. A very good family book. I highly recommend. Good book for animal lovers as well.
