The epic adventure of the 160-pound British Mastiff as well as the twentysomething girl who was raised alongside her-“as much a tale about growing up as about letting go of things that cannot be changed…and a reminder from the profound healing connection that can exist between humans and the pets they love” (Kirkus Reviews).

When Lauren Fern Watt moved to NY after college, she took her 160-pound English Mastiff, Gizelle, with her. And even though it wasn’t easy, she managed to look for a dog-friendly (albeit about Gizelle’s Bucket List: My Life with an extremely Large Dog small) apartment in the center of it all-Times Square. Gizelle was there for Lauren’s first job, her mother’s have a problem with addiction, her New York romances, and the ups and downs of becoming a grown-up in the big city. However when Gizelle got unwell, Lauren understood her best friend is probably not such a constant in the end, and she designed an epic bucket list to make the absolute most of the time they had remaining.

Bursting with appeal, Gizelle’s Bucket List is usually “an inspirational, uplifting experience that will keep you sense that anything is possible. For anybody who has had a pet; who has treasured and lost; that has hoped for the future, that is an enchanting tale of the unlikely journey that may stick with you for a long time” (Elle, UK).
