With all of the unknowns about Juliana's illness and survival, Hunter, Sander, and Ello find strengths they didn't know they had. She was on a chain by the house, and a fence stood between us, so I remained on the road even though I could see that the dog, a black lab mix with a crazily active tail, was clearly friendly. How could you not adore an animal who senses when your day is not going well and tries to cheer you up by dumping a sodden tennis ball in your lap?

It seemed a cruel joke to play on a dog, much as her parents were playing a cruel joke on her, making her live here and do chores and go to school when She Had Never Asked To Be Born. Only a few chapters in A Dog’s Perfect Christmas were told from the dogs’ perspectives, but I was so creeped out by Winstead referring to his elderly owner as “Daddy” that I couldn’t enjoy it.None of these characters were very likable, except maybe for Juliana, and she's in a coma for most of the book (undoubtedly why she's the most likable). Lara Rian’s newly released “How to Be a Happy Hooman: A Dog’s Way of Life” is a charming ABC work that offers insightful life lessons from a unique perspective. A well-trained dog should be able to distinguish between visitors allowed into the house and people who are intruders. The scent of sausage was so joyously thick on the air that Winstead was lifted out of bed and dragged across the room by it. As always, the perspectives of the dogs added that great extra to the books that we are used to but I enjoyed having the humans' perspectives on everything also.
