My name is Eric

There is nothing to dislike about this audiobook . In the contrary every
chapter kept me so intrigued that I just couldn't stop listening to it!
You will find your self laughing and teary eyed at times.
I recommend this book to any dog lover, specially to those with small breeds.

I Am In Love With Eric

I stumbled upon this audiobook quite by accident while looking for books with Pomeranian characters. I purchased the ebook and was offered the audiobook. Quite frankly I was put off at first by the narrator's voice.

But.....I kept listening and by the second chapter I was won over. Mr Dawson is the PERFECT voice for Eric. And as the story progressed, quite frankly I forgot I was listening to a "human". I could only imagine it WAS Eric relating his story and what a tale (tail) it is!
Eric is a proud male Pom born on a "puppy farm" in Australia. He is taken as a pup, loaded onto an airplane and ends up in a pet store in Singapore waiting for a loving family to take him home.

My own adopted Pom Brutus was born in a puppy mill in Oklahoma and transported by truck to a pet store in New England.
That is not the only similarity between the two dogs. Both Eric and my Brutus share a dislike for other dogs, enjoy fancy snacks and have a knack for getting into trouble.
They both also are master manipulators and know how to get exactly what they want from their families ;)

I found myself actually laughing out loud at Eric's antics.
I enjoyed this story so much I shared it with both my husband and mom. They also fell in love with this proud and feisty Pomeranian.

I have listened to this one multiple times.

All I can say is Bravo and Hooray for Eric!!
