I couldn't think of any book that fits this challenge really, but I've seen a lot of people saying bad things about this book, or rather about the author and how bad a dog owner he seems to be or bashing the sympathetic reactions to him.
Personally I think some people just thought he should be a perfect writer/pet owner/father and he wasn't afraid to show that he isn't any of the three but that there are redeeming things about him and I think there isn't such perfection. It felt honest enough I thought it was pretty nice.
