Co-Co AKA The Lazarus Dog
When a beloved dog suddenly becomes very sick, one child's faith is tested in ways he never expected.
In this heartwarming Christian children's story, young Ray faces one of the hardest moments a child can experience. His playful dog, Co-Co, no longer runs to the door or wags her tail with excitement. As worry grows and a visit to the veterinarian brings difficult news, Ray turns to the one place he knows he can find comfort... prayer. Surrounded by family, church, and love, he begins a journey of hope, courage, and trust in God's plan.
