The Dog

A testament to the comforting power of an animal's love. The uncomplicated love and dedication of a dog can make anyone feel better—particularly a child who is small and vulnerable.

Through beautiful, simple illustrations and words, The Dog shows how one animal helps a young boy who is ill.

She is his comfort, his companion, and his friend; when he's unhappy, she places her paw on his hand to show him she's there. The Dog is a story for young children, and for anyone who has ever owned a pet.

But most of all, it shows how important animal companionship is for children.

The warmth of animal friends helps make life worth living, especially when times are tough.
