Dog Songs by Mary Oliver
4.0
emotional hopeful reflective fast-paced

If you are a dog lover, this little set of poems will punch you in the gut and have you soaking in every precious moment with your pup. I love the way Oliver personifies her dogs, and gives odes to each of her previous pups in a way that encapsulates their unique personalities, because if you’ve ever owned a dog you know each one is truly different. This will make you want to hug your babies tight and savor every moment with them, appreciate your time together because it is far shorter than you realize. Thank you so much to my friend Chris who gave this to my fiancé and I as an engagement gift, it was beautiful <3
