Piglet - A Heart-Warming Audiobook That Will Stick With You
If you're looking for an audiobook that will lift your spirits and remind you of the simple power of love, Piglet by Melissa Shapiro is a must-listen. The story follows the tiny, pink pup who's both deaf and blind, yet whose spirit never falters. From the moment he arrives in the Shapiro home, his presence sparks a wave of transformation-not just for him but for everyone around him.
Shapiro's narration is warm and engaging, making it feel as though you're right there beside her family-her husband Warren, their three college-aged kids, and six other rescued dogs. The pacing is gentle; the chapters flow like a series of heartbeats, each one building on the last. You'll find yourself rooting for Piglet's first tentative steps, then cheering him on as he learns to trust again. It's a slow burn that pays off in a burst of pure joy when Piglet finally lets his confidence shine.
What makes this audiobook truly special is its focus on empathy and resilience. Shapiro doesn't shy away from the challenges her family faces-especially the emotional weight of deciding whether to keep Piglet or find him a new home. Her honesty about grief, hope, and decision-making creates an intimate connection with listeners. You'll feel as if you're sharing in their triumphs and heartbreaks.
The sound design is subtle but effective; soft background music underscores the moments of tenderness without overpowering the narrative. The pacing allows for reflection-perfect for a quiet evening or a reflective walk. If you've ever wondered how much a single animal can change a household, this audiobook will answer that question with gentle grace.
In short, Piglet is more than just a dog memoir; it's an emotional journey about the enduring bonds between humans and animals. Melissa Shapiro's storytelling, paired with her soothing narration, makes for an unforgettable listening experience. Whether you're a seasoned animal lover or simply in need of some heartwarming inspiration, this audiobook will leave you feeling uplifted and grateful for the simple act of love.

The narrator was good but spoke a bit too slowly for my taste. I had to speed it up to 1.2x which then made some parts sound slightly unnatural.
