Query: Section on Animal Cruelty Ruined My Love for this Story

I was totally in love with this book and couldn't put it down...until I got to the section that others have mentioned about animal cruelty. I felt like I was floating through this whimsical unraveling of a tragic love story. Then I hit an unexpected wall with the descriptions of animal abuse.Dog lovers will be drawn to this book and, for me, to read this section really upset me and I did not recover at the end. It was a jolt to the tone of the book; and didn't seem in character for the protagonist...without giving away the plot, there is one decision in particular that he made that seems ludicrious and you immediately know what will happen.This chapter detracted from what would have been a great novel. It turned me off the book.
