DU Animal Lovers: You Will Love This Book!

It's called: "Kinship With All Life" by J. Allen Boone.
It 's a short, easy read - only 135 pages.
Most of it is about an actor-dog from the 1920s called "Strongheart" who may be the smartest dog ever written about.

More about the book + a sample paragraph about "Strongheart"

It's available in paperback at Barnes & Noble for $4.83

But I know what you mean. That's why I specifically don't like animal stories.

The title, "Kinship With All Life" pretty well sums it up.

(btw, if you "never read books or watch movies about animals," because "they always die," then you're missing out on plenty of wonderful books & movies about animals)
