The Dog Who Was There by Ron Marasco
3.0
It was fine. A Hallmark Movie of a book. It had a good message and was mostly enjoyable, especially as a dog lover. There are parts where people are mean to dogs, which I can only imagine is a rhetorical device of the author’s to demonstrate how lost and broken the world is in the setting. As a pastor, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this book, but I also wouldn’t warn people off it.
There is a strong message of forgiveness and redemption. The narrative is strongly in favor of the poor and marginalized members of society and strongly against the authoritarian power structure of Rome and its agents. And it’s from the perspective of a dog. Overall, if you want to read it, you should.
