The book that I am reviewing today is "A Dog Named Beautiful" written by Rob Kugler. This book tells the story of Rob and his chocolate Labrador retriever named Bella. Bella is a big part of Rob's life, and he is deeply saddened when he finds out that Bella has bone cancer. Bella has to have her leg amputated, and the veterinarians don't give her much of a chance to live very long.
Rob decides to make Bella's life the best that it can be for as long as she has left. The pair go out on the road to see the country. They travel around the eastern part of the United States, and Bella is still going strong long after the vets thought that she would be dead. Rob and Bella then take off for a final trip to see Oregon.
This book is really good. It is book about a man and his relationship with his dog, but the book also deals with what veterans experience coming home from overseas, and the book deals with what it is like to experience the death of a person that is very important to you.
I recommend this book. If you are looking for a book that is similar to "A Dog Named Beautiful", "Home Waters" by Joseph Monninger also tells about a man who takes his dog on what may be their final journey together. Joseph and his dog go fly fishing in the American West.
