Otto & Henry: The Warm Spot

By Alex Jokela

Two old basset hounds. One favorite patch of afternoon sun. A friendship warm enough to outlast goodbye.

Henry is a gentle comforter with a soft harrumph for everything. Otto is a retired show dog, an expert popcorn catcher, and the enthusiastic announcer of the mail, dinner, squirrels, and just about anything else. As different as two dogs can be, they are the very best of friends, happiest curled nose to tail in the warm spot on the floor.

When Henry goes on ahead, Otto returns to their golden place each afternoon, where the warmth feels like more than sunlight alone can explain.

Inspired by two real dogs, Otto & Henry: The Warm Spot is a tender, gently funny story about friendship, pet loss, and the love that remains, written for children ages 7-11 to share with a grown-up.
