Book Review : Thank DoG by Jyothy Sreedhar & Dr. Mathew K.M Puthiyidom

 

I don’t usually come across memoirs that make me stop, smile, and rethink life all at once. But Thank DoG by Jyothy Sreedhar and Dr. Mathew Puthiyidom did exactly that.

What struck me most is how the book is told—not just from the patient’s perspective, but also by the doctor who treated her. Reading Jyothy’s words, I could feel the sharp edges of her pain, but also her wit, her resilience, and her refusal to let an accident define her. And then Dr. Mathew’s voice steps in—gentle, steady, and full of empathy. Together, their narratives don’t just describe recovery; they show how healing is as much emotional as it is physical.

For me, this wasn’t just a story of an accident—it was a reminder of how fragile life is, and how unexpected bonds can bring strength when we need it most. The book doesn’t sugarcoat suffering, but it does remind us that even in the hardest chapters, there can be grace, laughter, and growth.

If you enjoy memoirs that feel raw yet hopeful, this one is worth picking up. It left me with the thought that sometimes the worst detours in life lead us to the most meaningful destinations.
