A good book about friendship.
Once I saw two German Shorthair Pointers in a field by the highway–which is very dangerous, given that the highway is extremely busy and has no barriers. I pulled onto the unpaved path leading to the field, got out of my car and gently lured them to me. They were frightened, and obviously very bonded and uncertain what to do, but eventually they tentatively crawled into my back seat. They had no collars and no way to identify their owners. I couldn’t take them home because we had six dogs of our own, several of whom were sick with cancer and couldn’t handle the stress of these visitors. Instead I took them to our vet clinic who scanned them and learned they were not microchipped. I really did not want to take them to our local shelter, which is not a no-kill facility, and we were in luck–one of the clinic employees recognized the dogs as belonging to a neighbor!! She called him and he came down and picked them up. I’m told it was a very happy reunion.
My grandson would love this book.
This is an exciting book that takes you on an unforgettable adventure.
