Things I Learned from My Dog
Luna was the best dog a boy could ask for, brought home from the farmer’s market when the narrator was six. She taught him patience, openness in friendships, kindness, support, and love. Losing her devastated him to the extent that he determined to never have another dog again—until his daughter, asking about Luna, helped him to see how giving a home to another puppy could honor his first. This poignant picture book about the joys of canine companionship and the lasting aches of loss is vivified by sweet, antiqued illustrations in the style of intricate pencil sketches; it is sure to warm every pet lover’s heart.
