This audiobook started out funny and adorable... then it left me in tears. It's well-written, but heartbreaking; a full set of emotions, all packed into 25 minutes!

It started as a funny little story and took an unexpectedly dark turn which really ruined it for me. It could have been a brilliant story... I understand the message but I don't think there was a need for that.

As a pet lover I found this story quite distressing amd definitely would not let little children read it. While I can see the point of the casual contempt with which we treat animals and the causual use, abuse and experimentation they are subjected to is still relevant (unfortunately)I hope that as a society we have moved forward form this.

Once again proving that humans are selfish, ungrateful creatures, who don't deserve the love of their animal companions.

Warning: Don't read this to your children.

Leave it to Mark Twain. Suck me into a story called A Dog’s Tale. Get me well-and-true into the dog’s viewpoint and feeling the joy of puppyhood and then the pain of leaving mother. Then there’s the joy again: family found! Romp, romp, romp … BAM! Did Twain make me forget of the often-occurrence of a story featuring a dog? Oh, he sure did. Did I shake my fist in the air and say “How could you suck me in like that and then do THAT?” Yes, I did. Did I then go “Damn it … he’s good.” Yes, I did.

This was a quick story (21 minutes on audio) that intimately conveyed a dog’s life. The good, the bad, the ugly. You are warned – but it was a tremendously powerful tale.

Fiquei muito triste com este pequeno texto. Amo meus cachorros, achei que forma muito cruéis com a cadelinha. mas é uma boa leitura, mesmo assim.

Has a cool sad moment but I will probably forget this one. Sorry Twain. I really do love some of your other works
