Caring for Kingsley, Believing in a Better Way When Canine Cancer Comes Crashing Into Your World by Alli Eldridge
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I can write anything I want about this book- the writing style, the author but the main thing that comes to mind is how absolutely therapeutic it must have been to get this story out on paper. I am one of the few that consider themselves “not a dog lover”. I have a hard time wrapping my head around loving a pet as if they were my own blood for them to leave me too soon. The story of Kingsley and the love he was shown reminds me of why so many find the journey worth it. This was a tough read for obvious reasons but a story of hope and love all the same. There were times that the author repeated herself- I don’t say this as a criticism, it made the writing feel more authentic, as if we were talking about the experience over coffee or a friendly visit.
I could go on and on about various aspects or personal thoughts but I’ll leave you with the recommendation that you should read this with the expectation that your heart will break and simultaneously warm with hope.
