Making Rounds with Oscar: The Extraordinary Gift of an Ordinary Cat by David Dosa

challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring sad fast-paced

4.0

I don’t often read nonfiction, but a story about a cat comforting patients with dementia as they pass on is definitely a worthwhile step outside my typical fiction reads. An added bonus was this takes place in Rhode Island (where I’m from)! I loved learning all about the families Oscar helped at Steere House. While this story certainly had its sad moments, Oscars comforting presence was felt throughout the pages, and I would say that this little miraculous cat is worth the emotional journey this book takes you on. I truly enjoyed the book cover to cover and knowing it is only minutes away from where I grew up is the perfect cherry on top. If you want to learn more about Oscar, I would definitely check out this book, but there are also plenty of articles and videos online about the amazing work Oscar did in his life. (Oscar himself gets a 200000/10 for being so precious)
