David Wroblewski’s debut novel, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, is about a mute young man who lives with his parents on a farm in Wisconsin until his family is torn apart and he’s forced to fend for himself in the wilderness. Stephen King wrote: "I flat-out loved The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, and spent twelve happy evenings immersed in the world David Wroblewski has created.”

I'm glad writers have given up on people and moved on to dogs. As it is I only watch films that contain talking dogs and animals.
Leonard!
You aren't an owner but a custodian and dogs are Waaaaaaaaaay smarter than we are if you haven't noticed.
