The Life and Times of Le Bronco von der Lowenhohle by Thomas Wikman (2022 ). Available on Amazon.com at https://www.amazon.com/dp/0998084956.
I loved this book so much that I sat on the front porch one afternoon and read it in one sitting — something I wasn’t planning to do. I laughed, cried, thought about all the dogs I had ever owned, and absorbed new information about dog care. The book is written with honesty, caring, and yes, — love. Thomas Wikman loves his dogs, especially, Bronco, and that love shines throughout the book. I found it touching, heartwarming, and inspirational. He reminds us that dogs are family, too, and deserve all the love and commitment we can give. Every dog is special in its own way and enriches its owner’s life with its special quirks and talents. Bronco, to be sure, had many special talents and kept his family on its toes keeping up with him.
If you love dogs, you will love this book and all the sad and funny anecdotes. If you have never heard of the Leonberger breed, you will learn about it in this book. If you want to read more from Thomas Wikman, follow his delightful blog on WordPress.

What a lovely review! I’ve read Thomas’ book. The review captures the spirit of it perfectly.
As for animals, an aunt of mine, who has had various animals come and go, once said, “Each one was my favorite.”
