Summary: Sniffle! How sweet!
Comment: I ran across this book entirely by accident when I was 21. I opened it up and read it in five minutes or less, and that was all it took for tears to well up! It is charming, unforgettable, and one of the best books I have ever come across to introduce children to the concept of old age. It concerns an old farm dog who is taken out to be shot - it is only because his old legs cannot walk as fast as the farmer's that he gets away. When he is taken to the pound a young boy picks him out, and they share a very special friendship. Again, sniffle, sniff, sniff!

Summary: Find this book if you can!
Comment: This is a wonderful story of how an old dog about to be shot by a farmer because he's too old to work and "no good anymore" comes to be a little boy's best friend. Warning - don't try to read this to your child unless you're very VERY good at controlling that lump in your throat! It would be a great book to read to your kids before you visit the shelter to choose a pet. It teaches them to take a close look at the older dogs who may have more to offer than those unruly puppies. Again, a very lovely book. It's too bad it's out of print. It's well worth trying to track down.
