Max, the Mini, and one Tuscan summer

Book excerpt: "Our journey begins with Max becoming a member of the Lisi family. Their relationship of love and trust continued to grow as they travelled through Tuscany's hills, forests, and beaches throughout the summer. During this journey, we see the blossoming of a relationship that can only exist between a dog and its owner. This book is written from the point of view of a lovely Jack Russell named Max. Although you feel you do not know Max, by the end of the first few pages, you will love him. There's no doubt that this dog will steal your heart. Through extreme empathy, the author puts herself in the shoes of her dog and sees the world through his eyes. The story highlights the love between humans and dogs in general, a relationship that brightens the lives of people of all ages."
