Review
"Don't be fooled by the subtitle; this book is more than a canine travelogue. Much more. While the author does pay homage to her adopted city of many years, the true object of her affecton is Lauren, an infinitely lovable, chronically ill beagle. In this wonderful tale, Pfaltz chronicles her life with lauren on both sides of the Atlantic, making no bones about the depth of their relationship. LAUREN'S STORY is my favorite sort of animal book--one that details a loving bond that enriches the reader's life almost as much as thelives of the dog and person involved."
Review
"If you have a dog you love; if you ever wanted a dog, read this book! It is tender, funny, unforgettable and impossible to put down. In today's sometimes dark world, Lauren's Story is a much needed and brilliant ray of light."
"Kay Pfaltz's account of the years spent with her beagle Lauren will enchant anyone whose life has been changed by a special dog. Pfaltz sets out to write about 'the meaning of unconditional love,' and her story is at once a reflection on this topic and a personal memoir. LAUREN'S STORY is an essay on happiness, both human and canine. [It] is a tribute to life, and an invitation to cherish every moment of it."

5.0 out of 5 stars
Especially for dog lovers everywhere,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lauren's Story: An American Dog in Paris (Hardcover)
Lauren's Story: An American Dog In Paris by Kay Pfaltz is a heartfelt autobiographical testimony to her love of both the City of Lights and her gentle canine companion Lauren. Kay and her beagle Lauren enjoyed living in Paris. But when Lauren came down with an aggressive form of cancer, Kay essentially put her own life on hold to care for her beloved animal companion. An engaging and heartwarming story of adventure, trust, caring, and hope, Lauren's Story is highly recommended reading, especially for dog lovers everywhere.

Lauren's Story, An American Dog in Paris,
By
This review is from: Lauren's Story: An American Dog in Paris (Beeler Large Print Series) (Hardcover)
This is a lovely story about a woman's love for her dog and the love she felt in return. The reader will also enjoy the genuiness of a single woman living -- and dining -- in Paris, a city that seems more tolerant of dogs in its cafes than it is toddlers. It is a great book for anyone who is an animal lover, especially those who are self-proclaimed dog nuts. Others need not apply.
