This was a cute yet sad book and as someone who has lived her entire life around Rotties, it really reminded me of my first Rottie baby and my current one!

Hey folks, daddy Steve here with another little doggibook review. This time it’s a book title Oscar: My Best Buddy by author David Lees.
This one is a non fiction, a memoir really, retelling the life of one big rottweiler named, you guessed it, Oscar. That was a fun book, full of love from the author for his furbaby, with tons of anecdotes and side stories. I could really connect with many of the stories and could see Malcolm do some of the stuff the author attributed to Oscar.
If I could have only one critique, but maybe it was meant that way, it’s that the writing felt geared a little toward a middle grade audience. Otherwise it’s another recommended read for me, especially if you’ll lived with a dog.
Tiny disclaimer though, no big spoiler, but it is a memoir, so you can kinda guess how the book ends. Yeah, tears were shed on my end, no shame admitting it. I get attached to dogs, all dogs...
Huge thanks to NetGalley who provided a free eBook advanced reader’s copy in exchange for my honest review. This is as honest as it gets...

This is a lovely story of the relationship between man and dog. I liked the writing style and the story of Oscar the Rottweiler. A good read for dog lovers. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

Oscar is a Rottweiler. He is adopted as a puppy by David. Oscar as a puppy tests him appearing as the most independent puppy. Oscar has his own thoughts on he what wants to do. He flunks puppy training class. Oscar is not a mean dog. He is mischievous. David is easy going with Oscar. Oscar grows up to be a gentle dog. Oscar lets David know that he does not like being left alone. If left alone, he has a tendency to tear up things.

I liked reading about Oscar. His life as told in this book shows one what a Rottweiler can be. I do think that they have been given a bad reputation that isn’t deserved. I didn’t feel the connection between David and Oscar until it was almost too late. It’s is a story worth reading.

David tells the story of living with a Rottweiler from pup to end of life with love for this great dog who chose him as a pup and loved David for all the years his gentle soul was here on earth. Oscar did not have a mean bone in his body and David wanted to make that clear with the negative ideas that are associated with the breed. A very easy read.

A sweet and moving story that made me smile and moved.
I loved the story of Oscar and I liked the style of writing.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
This was a nice story if the relationship between a man and his Rottweiler. As the owner of a Rottweiler mix, I can relate to the gentle giant breed that David Lees describes.
This wasn't the best dog/human relationship book I've read lately but it was a sweet story.
