I mean Watership Down puts me in a trance like its language is surreal bc of its perspective. Just don’t finish the story.
Edit: just saw another post and second my first post. Beats the hell out of Jack London. I mean come on. That shit is unreadable. I don’t even know who wrote watership down bc I read it and was convinced it was just some rabbit.
I don’t want him to see me cry.
Emotions are key. They speak volumes. Oh and that’s a beautiful dog!
Just say “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” over and over so he never forgets his place.

What’s your dog’s name?
Krypto
Intended to be read out loud specifically for YOUR dog:
A life walking alone with the night sky
constellations named after people to remember them by
Placeholders imagined after the sun
Tombstone Cassiopeia, Crypt Orion
I never knew them. They mean nothing to me;
a chart in a book, just something to see.
Now that you’re here to walk near and far
I’ll remember our moments much more than the stars
I’m definitely reading him this, many times
The Holy Bible. Old Testament.
Easy, White Fang
Kujo
The Island of Doctor Moreau
He’ll definitely love the plot /s
Skullcrack City. It’s not about dogs or anything like that, it’s just a rad book that needs more love.
Added to my list
Le Petit Prince
The dictionary.
Count of monte Cristo . He’ll be familiar with your voice by the end.
The Robin Buss translation
read it in French and learn another language at the same time!
Project Hail Mary.
You can get your dog to bump your fist as well.
I honestly would read this again to him. It’s one of my favorite books of all time.
I know a friend who ran out of gas while listening to the audio book, lol. If that’s not a testament to it’s quality, I don’t know what is.
The Hobbit.
Sing the songs, too
Was going to suggest the LotR trilogy, but this is much more appropriate. Also, this gives the doggo a chance to see if they like the universe of Middle Earth and Tolkien’s literary style before committing to something lengthier.
