Books for National Dog Day episode 1

Today is National Dog Day so I thought I'd share some of my favorite dog books. First up is one I recently reread after we said goodbye to one of our border collies. This is a real tear jerker if your heart is already in a tender place, but it comforts me. I love the idea of a guardian angel taking care of my sweet dogs.

A few editorial reviews: 

"If you've never had a dog companion, this book will give you a picture of what it's like. It's like magic." -- The Oregonian, January 20, 1998

"The perfect way to remember the timeless connection children (and adults) forge with their special four-legged friends. Highly recommended." -- The Midwest Book Review

"This book is a must for everyone who has ever loved a dog. I can't recommend it highly enough." -- Susan Chernak McElroy, author of Animals as Teachers and Healers

"When the author lost her forever dog, Martha, the impact was devastating. This captures the poignant magic between the pair." -- The Seattle Times, November 22, 1998

"Whimsical language and pastel watercolors will mesmerize children of all ages." -- Dog Fancy Magazine, May 1999

Adults and children who have lost a dog will appreciate Davis' book for what it says: Although a dog passes away, it "can never really be separated from its forever person." The loving relationship between a person and a dog is forever. If you've never had a dog companion, this book will give you a picture of what it's like. It's like magic. Dog lovers will understand once they read this celebration of the special relationship between a person and a dog. It's a quick read, with less than 30 pages, but it's a book that can be read over and over. It evokes fond memories of those happy moments between a person and a dog. That alone will make the reader smile --Portland Oregonian, January 20, 1998
