A strong and proud boxer, he spends his early days with a loving family in a public housing complex in Washington, DC. Abruptly, he is taken away by an abusive, alcoholic man, plunging Buster into a challenging, nightmarish existence. Over the course of his life, he will experience homelessness, tragedy, a harrowing stay in a shelter, and acts of kindness, including his adoption by an older gentleman grieving the death of his wife.

I didn’t mind this one, but I think that sometimes the buster would think something that only a human would notice?

It was sad to think about that in a dog or a pets life they can change homes so often and it’s all left to the whims of humans for them. 2024-reads review-books review-books-read3 s Julie Busa348 11

I really d reading from the dog’s point of view. I work with dogs who are bounced from one owner to the next, many times over. Well done!1 Miriam Downey529 13

Ever wondered what a dog is thinking about? The charming novella about life written from the perspective of a bulldog named Buster lets you know that a dog will accept a lot of goings-on with life around him if he is offered food, love and companionship. Additionally, a dog is not blind to the drama that life brings to the humans with whom he is living. Buster experiences a lot of drama during his life, and in a short number of pages, the reader experiences all that drama as well.

Buster: a Dog is a masterfully written piece by the masterful writer, George Pelecanos. I was enchanted and read the book in one sitting. I d that Pelecanos kept the story as a novella, because it packed a greater punch than if it had been written as a novel with long passages about Buster’s owners. Well done.

George P. Pelecanos's Buster: A Dog is a beautifully written, heart-breaking story that fits right into his world of crime, mystery and D.C. noir all told by the unly narrator, Buster, a boxer. It was simply beautiful, emotional and if you've ever been lucky enough to have a dog that is just a little bit more than a dog than you'll understand what makes Buster such an amazing character.

Special Thanks to Akashic Books and Edelweiss Plus for the digital ARC. This was given to me for an honest review. 1 Jackie4,288 46

From a pup to an aged dog, Buster: A Dog speaks the language of a a gentle, loyal dog. Buster goes from master to master, good and bad, caring and volatile. He 'tells' in no uncertain terms what his feelings are and how he s living his life.

An imaginative story that has been told many times. Short, easy to read, and full of dogginess.
