As a dog dad, I love reading books about dogs and how they change our lives, or any other dog story.I recently enjoyed a great story of a book called " : Katie Up and Down the Hall," by Glenn Plaskin.
It's a great book based on the true story of how one dog turned five neighbors into a family! The author and Katie also experienced the horror of 9/11 there in New York City. It's all about the people we meet and those who become our family. This was a great book!

ABOUT THE BOOK: A personal memoir by bestselling author and celebrity journalist Glenn Plaskin, KATIE is
a moving story about a man who discovers the true meaning of family
after adopting a cocker spaniel puppy. Through the magnetic personality
of his mischievous dog, the author soon makes powerful connections with
several of his down-the-hall neighbors in a high-rise located in the
unique Battery Park City neighborhood of Lower Manhattan. First, Katie
trots into the lives of Pearl and Arthur, a warm-hearted elderly couple
just a few doors down from Glenn. Later, John, a single Dad, and his
rambunctious young son, Ryan, also move in and are seduced by Katie's
charms. All of their lives are profoundly changed as they are transformed from neighbors to friends to family, with Pearl as matriarch. The motherless boy finds a "Granny"; his Dad inherits a mother, Glenn discovers a confidante. Set in New York City, we witness nearly sixteen years of antics and family adventures spanning Hollywood high times, bad health, accidents, blustery winters, even the terrors of 9/11. Through it all, the family clings to each other, sharing a deep bond that give each comfort, support and security.
Based upon a widely-read article in Family Circle, here is an unforgettable story about the love that makes a family-one that transcends the hard realities of time, tragedy, and inevitable loss.
