If you want to read (in my case, listen to) a wonderful dog story, try The Art of Racing in the Rain. The novel is narrated by a dog named Enzio (if I remember correctly, been a few years). Yes, there is a fantasy element but author and the reader in the case of the audio book made me believe a dog could tell his story.
You will be crying in the first 5 pages and have the heart warmed and worried the rest of the novel. Highly recommended.
