I really enjoyed this book. I had seen a news story about Oscar a few years ago. He's a cat that somehow can tell when people in the nursing home that he lives in are about to die. He goes to them and sits by them until they pass. There seems to be a scientific reason for this (I won't give away the secret) but this still is an interesting story about the connection between animals and humans. This story is also the story of people dealing with their loved ones through dementia and Alzheimers. The end of the book brought a tear to my eye.
