(Amazon review) “I think I can say with certainty that
"Letters from Blitz," by Dan Santos, is the type of book that
billions of people can relate to, and I mean billions... not millions. When we
think of the greatest romances, love affairs, that we have read about or seen
on the big screen, we tend to forget about the endless love affairs between
humans and their pets (dogs, cats, piglets, and in the case of Lord Byron a
brown bear who attended classes with him at Cambridge).
Twenty years after the death of my cat, Dixie, the memory of her lingers on and
each morning when I get up I say good-morning to all the pets and dogs that
have belonged to me and I have got to know through friends and family that have
passed on: Dixie, Lucky, Jake, Carney, Razz, Louie, Chaps, Max, Murphy, and
Male'.
"Letters from Blitz," is in no way a sad book and without giving away
the ending I can honestly say I came away feeling great. Mr. Santos puts into
human words... Through Blitz, a Weimaraner breed... What I have always felt my
pets would say to me if they were able to speak, "human." He does not
use cartoon balloons to express the dogs' feelings, but electronic letters,
transported into each others' minds, send between canine family and friends,
and it works perfectly.
The author touches on subjects that haunt each of us when it comes to decisions
about a pet's health, the guilt we carry around after the doctor comes with the
big needle, and the memories that refuse to fade.
Mr. Santos writing is crisp and clear, and the book can easily be read in one
sitting. It is undeniably sentimental and at the same time uplifting. My father
used to say about our dog Lucky, "If she could speak she would say I Love
You," and I loved this book. Strongly recommend.” (Joseph Sciuto) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
