Julie Barton
An honest and deeply moving debut memoir about a young woman's battle with depression and how her dog saved her life.
At 22 Julie Barton collapsed on her kitchen floor in Manhattan. She was one year out of college and severely depressed. Summoned by Julie's incoherent phone call, her mother raced from Ohio to New York and took her home.
Haunted by troubling childhood memories, Julie continued to sink into suicidal depression. Psychiatrists, therapists, and family tried to intervene, but nothing reached her until the day she decided to do one hopeful thing: adopt a golden retriever puppy she named Bunker.
Dog Medicine captures the anguish of depression, the slow path to recovery, the beauty of forgiveness, and the astonishing ways animals can help heal even the most broken hearts and minds.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“Dog Medicine offers a carefully measured appreciation of life, in which every step forward is a victory worth celebrating, and every dark day is something that must be endured before moving on. Barton’s story of her life with Bunker is truly moving, and provides heartwarming proof of the ability of pets to alter our lives for the better.” (San Francisco Book Review)
“A heartfelt page-turner about depression and how dogs can save us from ourselves.” (Kirkus Reviews)
“You may think you’re about to read a book about a charming dog, or about struggling with identity in your twenties, or about how a young woman pulls herself together after a diagnosis of depression. But you’d be wrong. Dog Medicine is a love story - a great big beautiful honest touching intoxicating riveting page-turning instruction manual on the palpable healing power of love and forgiveness. Every word in this book is as honest and courageous as any I’ve ever read, and I’ve read a lot.” (Robin Oliveira, New York Times best-selling author of My Name Is Mary Sutter)

Would you listen to Dog Medicine again? Why?
Any additional comments?
Like another review says, Julie was probably not a great dog owner, and she is quite self-centered. But I think this book is honest because she didn't pretend that she was a considerate person during her depression time. Some sick people are really sick because they consider themselves normal. Julie Barton isn't one of them.Honest, at least

As such, it's not a rosy 'Marley and me', as a matter of fact, the connection with the dog is in spite of the title, is not the strong part of this book, in my view. I'm an insane animal-person, so it was "dog" that made me listen to the book, but that is not what carries this story. I'm still happy I listened to it, due to the very, very naked and raw way Julie Barton tells her story.
She has courageously faced her own demons, and courageously dared to tell her story for others to learn and benefit from. Impressive. Thank you Julie Barton.
Courageous, naked and raw window into suffering
