The Dog Who Dared to Dream, by Sun-mi Hwang
4.0
3.5 stars
That title and cover might lead you to think this is yet another fluffy, happy puppy story but do not be fooled! It is ~160 pages portraying the very realistic life of a dog who grows up in and lives with a poor family, so a couple events in the story might be upsetting if you are very sensitive towards animal welfare.
That said, I enjoyed reading this. For one, it is a short novel with accessible writing and small chapters, which personally made it easier to unpack my thoughts and emotions at any time throughout the book. It is overall still a sweet story and the bonus point: there are so many cute little doodles peppered throughout the book!
