If you've ever loved a dog, this book is for you. This slim volume is written and illustrated so that even a very young child could appreciate hearing it read, but any adult who considers himself or herself a dog lover will be enchanted with it. The book follows a dog through its life and, sadly, to its end, but the story doesn't stop there. There is so much love between the author and her dog that the author is certain she hasn't seen the last of her pup -- and she's right. You may need some Kleenex tissue for the final pages of the story, even though the book ends on a decidedly high note.
