Gentle Giant George: Rescue Dog Rescues Human – Book Review
Free Days With George: Learning Life’s Little Lessons from One Very Big Dog by Colin Campbell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Anyone who’s read my reviews probably noticed this: I only review books I like.
I generally like yarns about animal/human relationships. Rescue dog rescues human. What’s become the Marley Trope. FREE DAYS WITH GEORGE is that and more.
“This dog was a Landeer Newfoundland, unlike any dog I’d seen before. Striking, with the typical pitch-black head perched atop a vast wide body…
“He had a long, shaggy coat, floppy ears and a soft muzzle with a dusting of white above his nose. But what leaped out at me most were his eyes. They were a dark brown that seemed light against the black sea of his face. Sparkling with intelligence, they also looked weighed down by experience, with lower lids that drooped to expose a pair half-moons. They were the eyes of an old soul. He was a year old and they listed his name as Kong.”
It’s about finding a friend, travelling together and surfing.
A Canadian in California. What really made it so enjoyable was the personality of George. A Landseer Newfoundland gentle giant. Big dog. Big as a bear. Big heart — love and loyalty. It was nice meeting George. Colin Campbell seems like a nice guy, too…
Yup, read it.
