What Readers Are Saying

Hi Jose. I want to thank you so much for your book. It was a fantastic read. I enjoyed every bit of it - reading is as I laid out each Sunday by the pool for a couple of hours. Not only does it give me a different perspective on life, it has changed my thoughts on one very important issue in my life. I am a very strong woman, with one or a weakness. I was diagnosed 4 years ago with MS. Your book has changed my thought process on how to deal with certain things -slow mobility, speech at certain times, all the things that progress - although mine is slow, but what I go thru having MS. Now I have a different attitude - FIDO. I want to thank you for the book, and everything you poured out in your heart and soul for others to read.Thank you Jose! And thank you too for being a customer!

Jose F. Morillo shares The concept of FIDO. I had some tears and laughter as I read it. I actually want to share this book because, I think of people who could use this in life. Reading it is very helpful and it’s also a reminder for me to FIDO.. It was a refreshing eye-opener. Jose shares a lot of his personal life in his story that many of us can relate to.

Sherri Balcomb

FIDO was a casual read packed with perspective, guidance, and life experiences I believe we can all relate to. I genuinely enjoyed reading about the journey of Jose Morillo from his early childhood years, the values & principles instilled in him by his wonderful parents which attributed to critical decisions he made during his experiences as a young professional, and to his recent experiences as an entrepreneur was inspiring. FIDO is definitely a book I will be reading again, and I highly recommend it to others.

At first, I thought this was going to be mostly cute dog stories, but it turned out to be a really raw account of personal growth, grief, and transformation. José has this way of turning setbacks into turning points, and I found myself highlighting a few quotes I want to remember. The core message—FIDO—really stuck with me. I think a lot of people would benefit from hearing his story.

Who knew a book about career pivots, life lessons, and tiny dogs could keep me turning pages? José somehow makes corporate leadership and dog poop stories work together in the same book — and it works! It’s like listening to your favorite uncle share stories at a BBQ. Some of the tangents made me chuckle (“Chitty”... really?!), and I’ve officially adopted “FIDO” into my vocabulary. 10/10 would read with a cup of coffee and my dog in my lap.

Benjamin

Reading FIDO felt like chatting with a buddy who drops wisdom in between jokes. Some of the stories went off-track a bit (this man loves details), but I was smiling through most of it. If you need encouragement and a reminder that dogs are sometimes the best therapists, this is your book.

Mike

Reading this felt like sitting down with someone who has truly lived — and knows how to tell a good story. The way José ties in his dogs with his personal and professional journey is heartwarming, funny, and surprisingly wise. Also, I now want to hug my dog and tell him thank you.

Anne

From the moment Chitty showed up in the story, I knew I was in for something unique. José’s voice is easygoing and full of personality. It’s not just a book about dogs or setbacks — it’s a reminder to take life seriously, but not too seriously. A thoughtful, funny, and memorable read.

Jim

As his sister-in-law, I’ve witnessed José embody resilience through every challenge. FIDO captures his journey with honesty and heart, illustrating the philosophy of “Forget It, Drive On” (FIDO) through his lived experiences and the unwavering loyalty of those who stood by him. This isn’t just a story of struggle—it’s one of perseverance, connection, and the power of moving forward. This memoir captures what I have seen firsthand: José’s ability to face adversity head-on, to push forward despite the weight of hardship, and to lean on his most steadfast companions—whether family, friends, or his beloved pets who stood by him without question. He does not just endure; he rises, reminding us all that resilience isn’t just about survival—it’s about finding meaning, purpose, and strength in the journey. A compelling and inspiring read for anyone seeking proof that resilience is built through both hardship and the courage to keep driving on.
