Marley and me was really the only " animal book"I've seen.

Mostly we talk about our pets and problems or issues with them

I recently read Dewey: The Small Town Library Cat Who Touched The World. I loved it!

I'll see if my library has it, thanks, JIll

I loved The Silent Miaow by Paul Galico (not The Silent Meow, which is about menopause), Winterdance, Marley and Me.

I'll second Winterdance. That is one of my favorite books ever, of any type.

"The Story of Edgar Sawtelle." About a boy and a spectacular breed of dogs. great book.

From my childhood: "Lad: A Dog," by Albert Payson Terhune, and "Big Red."

I'll second the recommendation of Winterdance. Some of it is really funny. Paulsen is a fine writer.

If you want another elephant story, try The Cowboy and his Elephant (Macpherson).

Haven't read it yet, but "Wesley the Owl: The remarkable love story of an owl and his girl" is supposed to be pretty good.

I've recently read:

Marley & Me
Dewey: the Library Cat
Wesley the Owl

All great books.
