The Dog That Talked to God is a delightful, sweet story.

An example of just one of the many ways God shows us His love through our pets.

i was disappointed in this book. The title mislead me. And there was so much talk about nothing. i kept reading it hoping it would get better, but it never did. And the reason i wouldn't recommend it is for the same reason i wish i hadn't bought it. The title misled me.

I bought this book because I thought the title was cute and I like animals. It was not what I expected and took me awhile to get into it. I guess I thought it would be funny and it was at times. I like the way the dog let us know how a dog might be thinking. Our dog is very afraid of thunder storms too. It shows how we turn from God at times that we should be turning to Him. It was a good message to those hurting for one reason of another. I think the Holy Spirit was helping this lady work through her sadness and bring her back to happiness. Not sure if the dog was really talking. I would recommend this book to young adults and up.

I had hoped I would like this book better than I did, but unfortunately, it was not to be. I love dogs, and the beginning of the book was fine. However, once our heroine had Rufus (the dog) "talk," I really lost interest. I know that we tend to think that our animals talk, but this was just too much for me to accept.

There were some points of the book that did interest me. I was intrigued when Mary first got Rufus. And then about the middle of the book, there was an area that certainly got my attention. And her entire discussion of her love life and views on dating were pretty intriguing.

I really struggled with the fact that she continued to have Rufus pray to God for her. Eventually, that stops, but I felt like Mary never truly finds her faith again. The gospel message is truly lost in this book. It is neat that God brings along "signs" to show her that she is doing the right thing.

The book is clean, and the message is pure. For that reason alone, many people will probably enjoy the book. Rufus is certainly a cute, smart dog, but I just struggled to truly embrace this book.

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated in any way, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.

Great book, but I'd change the title... I bought it before and it made the circuit so much I lost touch of my original. So, bought another to send to my friend who lost her husband. The book brings consolation to the hurting, but in all things Our Father is the All in All.
