Thanks to all of you reviewers, you never let me down. I just received this book and devoured it as soon as I opened the box. Yes, the story is sad, and it brought me to tears, but I look at my own dear scruffy dog a little differently, and so does the little boy I read it to.I collect Children's Books for their illustrations. I have to admit that some of the books that I own the content is so-so, but the illustrations are marvelous.This one, stands out in all aspects. I am proud to add this to my library. (I think I'll buy another one for a spare...I know we'll be reading this one alot)

This book is a gentle treasure. The story and the illustrations tug at the heart. The story is well told. It is gripping without being too intense for younger children. The artwork is lovely and adds to the sense of times past. This work will be handed down by generations of book and animal lovers. Exquisite. Highly recommended to all.

What a lovely book. I am a humane educator for a humane society and find this book's message very sweet. An artist coworker loves the illustrations also. Very well done

I picked up the book because of the beautiful illustrations, and soon realized that I had a treasure. Both my grandchildren and I loved it. I teared up over the sensitive story and they were entralled by the pictures and the dog. It"s a keeper!!!!
