A feel-good love story about a boy and an exceptional dog destined to join him on his journey to manhood.

THROUGH THE DOG'S EYES


“A Page-turner with a Charming Point of View” - Mark


Sal Sanfilippo

Sal Sanfilippo was born and raised in Boston. He received a BA in English from UMass Boston and his MBA from Suffolk University and has worked as an airline executive living in Italy, Australia, and California. But the dream to write and share stories about the nobility and frailty of the human condition was never far from his heart. "Through the Dog's Eyes" is his first novel, and it offers insight into the special bond between humans and dogs as we share our journey through life.

What other's are saying:

A Page-turner with a Charming Point of View


From the beginning, Sanfilippo ensconces us in the mind of Bull, a 120-pound Newfie mix, whose love for his family, his neighbors and anything edible that lands on the floor is unconditional. Most of all though, he loves Jake, his special boy, and it is Jake's life we watch unfold through Bull's gentle and protective eyes. This story will have you smiling, crying and smiling again through your tears.

An ideal book for dog lovers, heartfelt and emotional


I really enjoyed this book. It has its exhilarating moments but it also brought me to tears several times in a very good, emotional way. Sanfilippo's writing is clean and skillful. Writing from the dog’s point of view is engaging and kept me turning the pages. This book is much more than a story about a dog. It's also about the boy's (Jake) coming-of-age story and a love story. This truly is a memorable feel-good novel that stays with you. If you have a dog or any pet that you love or have loved in the past, you will definitely find delight in reading this book.

I loved this book, more dogs should learn to write.


A heartwarming story of friendship, family and the unconditional love between a (my) boy and his dog, Bull.This book brought back so many memories of days gone by, the joy of growing up surrounded by family, friends, caring neighbors, and of course the one constant, my dog. Thank you Jake, Bull, and Sal, for sharing your story. Wonderful first book.
