Review:
I have only read one other book that shares the thoughts that run through a dog's mind. The Bella Chronicles...is such a great read! I really enjoyed reading Bella's thoughts and finding out what happens when we humans aren't looking. :) I have two dogs of my own so many of the things that Bella did made me think about the things my dogs have done. This is a book for all ages that will keep you intrigued and have you laughing quite a few times.
Bella is such a cute and brave dog! She really sounds like what one would think a Shih Tzu would sound like. I loved reading the conversations that she had with other dogs, cats, and even a squirrel. Each character had their own personality and the thoughts of the dogs were similar to the thoughts that we have every day.
This book has humorous, suspenseful, and cute moments throughout. The ending will have you holding your breath for Bella and her friends. A quick and enjoyable read for sure! If you love animals (especially dogs), then this is the book for you.
