The Boy and the Dog

I'm not sure the last time a book made me cry, but I shed a few tears towards the end with this one.

It's quite clear the subliminal “angel of death” meaning the author sprinkled throughout. If you look at the novel at face value I think it can come across lackluster/dry/repetitive. This isn't a happy journey, but it reflects a lot of struggles our humanity faces and how a companion like a pet can help us be vulnerable and honest when faced with repercussions of our actions or injustices placed onto us.

It was a moving and beautiful story.
