This is an interesting book from the beginning in that autism is being viewed from an animals point of view. They tend to be more simplistic and basic than humans, which comes across as soon as you begin the book

Good makeup for a review. Its indeed a journey into the abstract world of science. Philip and Sabre,his dog really enjoyed the company of each other while on this adventure. The book should be good to read. :lol:

what a great review. I see Phillip having much comfort with his dog Sabre ,and Aristotle. The fact that he was also having difficulties in verbal communication, he thought it wise to encounter with only one person who is much wiser than him and am sure through him, he was able to grasp many things. The review shows that Phillip is a man of vision. I will read it

I guess the most important morale of the story is that we've got to create a conducive environment for everyone no matter their state and status. Doing this, everyone will excel. It was an insightful review.

Great review! I like that the story is told from the dogs point of view that lets Philip really be front and center. My own son is a 15 year old mostly non-verbal autistic boy and I think that this book will be great not only for me but to his brothers and sister as well. Congrats to the author on a terrific review. Thanks so much for sharing.

Wow I love the story. Didn't know dogs were capable of assisting people with autism. Each day I get to discover something new through this forum. Thanks.

Nice review. The story has a nice twist to it. I am not interested in reading books told from the perspective of animals,but thats my personal preference

I'm really glad that the author gets to tell his story. I firmly believe that the best stories come from lived experience, and this one is a perfect example of that fact.

I really haven't met a child with autism and I am certainly not familiar with the defect or deficiency, but a story that teaches us of the possibilities of seeing the big picture despite the obvious challenge is one worth reading. Thanks for the review, excellently delivered.

Thanks for your review, I've read a few books where one of the main characters has autism, and I find those are some of my favourite books. The fact the author also has autism, proves how accurate it is to "write what you know" I look forward to reading this book

It is not a book but a spiritual idea that can be felt from heart. There are no words to describe its definition.
