Maybe spoiler alert?

Very few books have actually devastated me with the ending, the most obvious being Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls. I honestly refuse to acknowledge this book was meant for children because it made me not want to read a book with animals ever again lol. The worst fact being that I HAD to read this for school…

I remember my mom was reading it out loud so that I could takes notes at the same time. We finally got to the final horrendously sad part and my grown mother had to leave the room and refused to read the rest lol.

I am just like, why? I understand the whole idea of wanting to educate children on death, particularly with animals, but there was NO NEED for that to be so heartbreaking lol.

Both dogs did not have to make it till the end, but I feel like Little Ann should have went on to live a long and happy life.
