A cute story of Bear, the dog. The reviewer's description of a heartwarming story is endearing. It will be a good book to buy for my kids.

In the 'Official Review: A Spiritual Dog: "Bear", by J. Wesley Porter', the reviewer expresses his clear point of view, about the book! He expresses so spontaneously, what he likes best about the book! I also love the way he relates the story of the book, to the larger issues!

I am not a lover of pets but the story sounds amazing for the young ones. Looks like it can strike 4 stars if the writing styled is a little bit spiced in addition to better proofreading.

It sounds like a good story for children especially on the fact that it has pictures which will definitely catch the attention of children and also educates the children on the nature of dogs as they grow old. Thanks for the review.

Lovely review! I am not really a fan of animals or pets, but I can understand the importance of such a book, especially for kids. This book seems like a great way to educate them about the needs and habits of an animal and how it feels to take care of one. Thank you for the review.

The review is one in a million. I read it and felt like I already know the whole story. Through the review I can picture the Potter's buying the dog named bear, I can see Daniel and Joshua, their children playing with Bear chasing rabbits and I can picture growing and changing as a dog.

The review gives a clear understanding that the children's book can be understood by children aged 7-10 when they read on their own and the younger ones can be read to. It is generally a very good review which has not only mentioned the good parts of the book but also the grammatical errors that need to be corrected.

I like pets, but have never gotten around to owning one. It would be nice to read about how they act on a daily basis. Thanks for the review.

I do not particularly like children's books nor I have someone to read this to, so I won't be reading this story unfortunately. Regardless, thank you for the review.

I've never read a nonfiction children's book before. Since this story can get children to understand the way dogs change as they age, I'll read and recommend it. Thanks for the review.

From the review this book would be a nice choice for story time for children or a bedtime story as kids usually love books about animals.I love the illustrations in the book, makes the book more interesting to children, the story also teaches children about how dogs behave as they get older, so any kid that gets to read this book am sure will understand dogs better.

Not only for kids for young adults too and i love the illustrations in the book, makes the book more interesting, the story also teaches children about how dogs behave as they get older.
