Sinossi
Il giorno in cui Bunker è nato, in una fattoria in Ohio, secondo di una cucciolata di golden retriever, in un appartamento a New York le tenebre della depressione, che da un po' si stavano infittendo, inghiottono Julie. All'improvviso, a poco più di vent'anni, si trova sola e disperata, bisognosa di aiuto e di qualcuno che si occupi di lei. Come Bunker. Tornata dai genitori, sembra che nulla la possa aiutare. L'idea di adottare un cane è l'ultima spiaggia. Qualche tempo dopo, come era destino, le vite di Julie e Bunker si incrociano. Con il suo amore incondizionato, la sua capacità di vivere l'istante e la felicità che esprime in ogni gesto, Bunker insegna a Julie a tenere a bada i brutti pensieri e a stare nel presente. Nel suo sguardo, come in quello degli amici più veri, anche nei momenti più cupi, Julie trova sempre la stessa risposta: «Io credo in te e non ti lascio sola».

Recensioni
Dog Medicine is a story of returning from the brink. Julie’s book wrecked me in the best way. Her writing sings when she writes about Bunker and you want her to do anything for him. For those of us who love dogs, we know what a wag of the tail, a poke of the nose, a crawling into a lap can do for th Leggi tutto
I was previewing this for my daughter, who burdened with chronic illness has a special and healing bond with her animals ( especially her rescued Pit Bull Luna) and will totally be able to relate here. This is Julie Landon's ( 2015) memoir about Bunker Hill the lovable, oafish, Golden Retriever who
I was greatly moved by Julie's story of resiliency in the face of severe depression, and thrilled to be introduced to the dog who helped restore her to life, the unforgettable and irresistible Bunker. A glorious memoir, one I highly recommend for anyone who struggles with moods, loves dogs, or just
Dog Medicine is more a journal than a novel. Therein lies my problem with it. The author describes her experiences growing up, her journey through clinical depression with suicidal ideation, and her eventual attachment to her dog. Depressed people can be self centered, it's one of the characteristic Leggi tutto

I wanted to love this book but hated it. The writing style and unlikeability of the narrator, I could live with...but I got halfway through and had to stop because I was so bothered by the inconsistencies in the writer's attitudes towards animals (see: her childhood dogs, her bunny, her rescue dog i Leggi tutto
If this rating was just for Bunker, I give him five stars - I loved stories about him and what a good boy he is (oh yes he is! Who's a good boy? Who is? You are, Bunker!!) However, we don't really get to meet Bunker until about 100 pages into the book. This is Julie's story, and how the pup changed
I'm halfway through; it's a wide open hearteded & spiritual read. If you believe in the mystical connection we share with the animal world, if you like authentic literary voices, read this lovely book. On finishing Julie's book, not only did I weep like a baby, I was enriched. The reader walks away n Leggi tutto
I am going to rate Dog Medicine 4 stars as a ‘dog’ book. From the standpoint of a true story of a lady dealing with and recovering from depression, I give it 5 stars. I am always impressed when people can completely bare their soul and story. I know it is the best way for others to learn and deal wi Leggi tutto
