" Gizelle's Bucket List explores the unique bond--a complete integration of spirits--that can occur between a human and a dog and make us better than who we were. Told with humor and compassion, this book will also move you to tears." --Larry Levin, New York Times -bestselling author of OOGY: The Dog Only a Family Could Love "The heart of this delightful book isn't a dog, it's just that-heart. Gizelle, big-bodied, big-spirited, inconveniently big at times, is a big-hearted mastiff in declining health who uses a bucket list tour, a loving gift from her human (the author), to quietly wiggle a return gift into Lauren's own big heart. Gizelle's Bucket List is a dream (and a dog) well worth reading about." --Steve Wolf, author of COMET'S TALE: How the Dog I Rescued Saved My Life, "An inspirational, uplifting experience that will leave you feeling that anything is possible. For anyone who has had a pet; who has loved and lost; who has hoped for the future, this is an enchanting story of an unlikely journey that will stay with you for a long time." --ELLE UK "For anyone who's ever owned and lost a dog, this account holds familiar strains of sadness, comfort, and hope." -- Booklist "As much a story about growing up as about letting go of things that cannot be changed, Watt's book is also a reminder of the profound healing connection that can exist between humans and the pets they love. A tender, heartfelt story." -- Kirkus Reviews "An extraordinary book--wonderfully moving, beautifully written, and sure to resonate with anyone lucky enough to have loved an animal who changed her life. This one will earn a permanent spot in your library and in your heart." --Gwen Cooper, New York Times bestselling author of HOMER'S ODYSSEY: A Fearless Feline Tale, or How I Learned about Love and Life with a Blind Wonder Cat " Gizelle's Bucket List is a story that will be loved by anyone who has ever loved a dog. Lauren Fern Watt poignantly captures the unique joy and heartbreak of sharing one's life with a great dog and how such a dog's love and loyalty can carry us through life's moments big and small." --Teresa Rhyne, New York Times bestselling author of THE DOG LIVED (AND SO WILL I) " Gizelle's Bucket List explores the unique bond--a complete integration of spirits--that can occur between a human and a dog and make us better than who we were.
