"Man's best friend poetically surfaces in this touching tale of unconditional love between Dougie and his Great Dane. Peer pains are softened by the emotional attachment between them as they grow up together. Lessons in the life and death of a loved one are clearly defined when Dougie must say goodbye to his frail and failing pet far sooner than he would like. Here we learn about mortality and the everlasting feelings that carry us beyond loss, and the acceptance of death as a natural life process. This book is a must read for any child and especially for a child who has a pet as his best friend."
