Book Reviews of Amazing Gracie: A Dog's Tale
Book Review: 5 stars and 4 paws up
Summary: 5 Stars
If Dan Dye ever decides to stop baking dog biscuits, he's got a sterling career ahead of himself as an author.
This is a thoroughly enjoyable book, even for readers who are not dog crazy, like me. Dye is a talented writer whose humor shines through from the very first page to the last. He takes the reader along on a journey of self-discovery with his deaf Great Dane, Gracie, as his sage and guide.
As with other books that relate stories of living with multiple pets, chaos ensues for much of the story, as Dye recounts the very specific challenges of raising a dog with special needs. Gracie helps Dan discover a latent talent that spins off into a booming business.
I give this book 4 paws up.

Book Review: Inspirational, Loving, and Quick
Summary: 5 Stars
Amazing Gracie was a joy to read! It's really two books in one: 1) a loving tribute about a beloved family pet, and the impact a pet can make in one's life, 2) how passion can lead one into a very successful business. The third benefit is that the book is written in a lively conversational style that makes it a quick read. As soon as I finished the book I passed it along to a friend to read......loved it!Book Review: Amazing Gracie
Summary: 5 Stars
The writing style was a bit tedious at the beginning, but it improved and I thoroughly enjoyed the story. It is a good story of not about the dog only, but also how you can turn your life around to what you want it to be by simply not giving up and putting in whatever it takes to get it. And, let us not forget the fact that it took a dog to do it. Animals are truly great partners because they need us and inspire us with their unconditional love.Book Review: dog stories

This is another wonderful story told with a lot of love. Right up there with Marley and Me and Merle's Door. You can read this more than once. I just wish the book was longer because there were so many great tales of this dog and her owners. They really loved their dog.Book Review: Amazing Gracie: A Dog's Tale
Summary: 5 Stars
Great story about Gracie and her "family"! Having a German Shepherd who is partially deaf, blind in one eye, and dumped in a trash can at 10 weeks old, I can certainly relate to Dan (and Mark) and their quest to raise a "special needs" dog. It's a wonderful [true] story for anyone who is a dog lover!
