Six-Thirty from Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus

Six-Thirty, named after the time he was found by Elizabeth Zott, is a highly intelligent Goldendoodle who has a key role in the story and serves as its narrator. Although not all the novel’s major characters make it to the end of this uplifting yet tear-jerking work of historical fiction, Six-Thirty safely perseveres.

Read about the other dogs that survive.

Lessons in Chemistry is among Ruth F. Stevens's five novels on smart, quirky women facing personal struggles, Lorna Graham's seven top workplace novels, and Claire Alexander's five books to read for when you’re lonely.
