This book is well written, and gives you enough information to believe the slightly incredible tale. One of the best books I've ever read. I would / do suggest this book to everyone I know.This book is about a woman and man who are brought together by a genetically altered intelligent dog. There is a wide range of characters who people can relate to, their stories are colorful and entertaining till the end.On a side note, the book exlains that there were people looking for the dog everywhere. Including all modes of transportation. And that they wanted to stay close to resolve the situation, rather than flee across the country. It keeps together the core characters.
