About this listen

This story is written through the eyes of Jacob, an eight-week old border collie. At only eight weeks old, he was taken away from his Mum to start a whole new life, but sadly he fell into the hands of a bully. Jacob’s Journal will take you through the first year of his life. There will be laughter, tears, and heartbreak along the way. Will Jacob have a happy ending?

The motto of this story is never give up on a rescue dog.

Very sad beginning but once through that, an uplifting read, though I did shed a tear! Great book for anyone interested in taking in/re-homing a dog

Inside a Dog's Mind: Jacob's Journal
By: Michelle Holland

As an owner of a rescue dog I was in tears listening to this book, apart from the car incident I imagine my fur baby went through a similar ordeal. I guess a lot of animals do.

I enjoyed listening from the dogs point of view and how everyday things affected him in the future. The story is well written and although sad, it does have some humour.

The narrator made me feel as if it was actually Jacob talking, making it a brilliant and delightful listen.

Anyone who loves dogs should read/listen to this book as there are also some great dog training tips

The poem at the end, with a few slight changes, could have been written for my dog, so moving.

(I was given this book, at my request, for free in exchange for an honest review, good or bad)

tearjerker

As an owner of 3 very loving dogs , I found this story quite emotional, but with a happy ending.
Well worth a listen and does make you think as to why a dog does something strange sometimes .
I think more chicken is required in my dogs diet . I wouldnt be without my 3 and hate the way some people treat dogs so badly , but Jacob with half a tail your smile shines through .

lovely story

This was hard to listen to at the beginning but sadly dogs are abused by some people that don't understand why dogs act the way they do. I'm so glad that Jacob gone 2 loving people to care for him in the end. Sadly dog's aren't with us long enough yet they teach us a great deal.

Excellent
