I LOVE the cover… I would swear that is my doggie “Jake” (when he is all brushed of course)
Dog stories have always been my favorites (other then that teenage period most every girl goes through with horses) and this one I must pick up.
Always so hard to rationalize our human love/hate relationship with huMAN’s best friend. We have proven time and again the mental and physical healing powers of a dog (a pet for that matter) We praise them for the hard work and service they perform daily, whether it be seeing for the blind, hearing for the deaf, aiding the police, yet we ban them from most everywhere in our society. It’s easily proven dogs do not pass on disease or germs harmful to humans (however other people do) and they are far less likely to injure us then one of our own kind.
Sigh, I shouldn’t get started on this topic:)
Back to the book, it is so nice to expose children to the fact that the lowly dog can bring out so much emotion from a human, even one that may have given up on humanity and life itself.
