I loved this book! I read it many years ago and I get it out and reread it every so often. My first Great Dane was from a backyard breeder and while most are great many are not. Zeus had many problems and most people would have gave up on him but I loved him more than words than ever express. Like Gracie he had an eating disorder and would not walk on shiny floors. I tell people he was my Angel baby that was sent to me to learn love and patience lots of patiences. He was the smartest dog I have ever had and I was lucky to have him in my life. Its been over 7 yrs since he died that summer day but I think about him everyday. This book makes me laugh, cry and yes miss him like crazy. My whole family has read this book . My dad cried like a baby and said it was one of the best books he has read. If you love dogs you can't go wrong with this book. Yes it will make you cry but it will make you laugh as well, it is very bittersweet. You can't go wrong I promise!!!

I love this book
This is an excellent book for everyone, not just dog lovers. This is a very inspirational book. I thought it was wonderfully written. Each character, including the dog, have their own personalities.

A must read for dog lovers
I LOVED this book! This is one of my favorite dog books and I've loaned it and recommended it to all the other dog lovers I know. You can't help but fall in love with Gracie. It's an interesting story about the start up of a dog biscuit bakery, too. A quick and easy read. I couldn't put it down.

Do not miss this book!
A fabulous story of love, loyalty, and a once-in-a-lifetime relationship. The story of Gracie, a Great Dane who was on the brink of being put down because she was deaf and blind in one eye, and her human companions; this story is touching for anyone who has ever had the special relationship with a canine friend. The love that these guys had for this little girl; their dedication to make food that she would eat...and that was good for her. I laughed at many of Gracie's antics and cried at the love they shared. I do not have a Great Dane; however, I am a Dachshund mom and I understand the joy that dogs can bring into a person's life. Do not miss this read...it is a memorable story of love!

This is the best book I've ever read!
I've had 4 Great Danes in my life and this book REALLY lets you know what it's like to have one. The pictures are hysterical! The story is a good fast read, action packed the whole way. Don't miss out, and then go adopt a Great Dane. :)

Giving hope even now
I was sad for weeks before I read this book. I had no idea what was weighing me down and didn't give it much thought. This book was amazing! I know that is a funny choice of words, but this book really made me laugh and cry. I felt a renew in my spirit. Gracie is still spreading her uplifting spirit even now through this wonderful story.

Heart Warming
As a Dane owner and someone who has lived through something that has made me wonder, 'why me', this book not only makes you laugh and cry, but makes you realize things happen for a reason. This is my all time favorite book.

What a Tribute to a Best Friend!
I laughed and cryed. Being a pure dog lover, and knowing just the way a great dane is, I could not put this down. I want to meet the authors and their best friends, but then I really don't need too, as I feel I know them all already. Gracie, where ever you are, Thank you for your sprit!

You'll laugh, you'll cry.....I know I did.
The story of the adoption of a deaf great dane puppy 'Gracie' and the way she became an integral part of the 'family' is touchingly told with humor and remarkable insight into what we get from our relationships with dogs. I read this in one sitting.

One and only
I would give this book 10 stars if I could! My 7-year-old daughter and I read it together and we laughed out loud at some of Gracie's exploits (for those who've read the book, picture the limo and the pill-box hat...). What a sweet, amazing dog. And, what fabulous parents to save her from the horrible breeding conditions she was is, to adapt their lives to accommodate her 'handicaps', to hide her indiscretions so that she could have a friend, and to try every cookie recipe they could find to get the girl to eat. This book not only shows us the love these men have for their dog, but also teaches us about Gracie's unending capacity for unconditional love. You'll laugh a lot, but I warn you -- get the big box of tissues for the last chapter. You will need it. Read this book! And read it to your kids.

I Love This Book!
Gracie is the sweetest dog ever! I love her because her personality resembles my bloodhound's personality. I love all the little stunts she pulls. The end is so sad! But despite the ending, I love this book. I gave it to my friend to borrow, and she became obsessed with Gracie. I reccomend this book to all dog lovers.
