A LITTLE DOG LIKE YOU

Summary: A Little Book About A Dog
Review: If you've ever loved a dog, this book is for you. This slim volume is written and illustrated so that even a very young child could appreciate hearing it read, but any adult who considers himself or herself a dog lover will be enchanted with it. The book follows a dog through its life and, sadly, to its end, but the story doesn't stop there. There is so much love between the author and her dog that the author is certain she hasn't seen the last of her pup -- and she's right. You may need some Kleenex tissue for the final pages of the story, even though the book ends on a decidedly high note.

Summary: preparation
Review: In 1990 I found a small mixed breed chihuahua/daushaund mix.In 1992 while on vacation at the beach went into a shop in search of sun screen lotion and browsed thru a table of discounted items.There was a book with the image of my dog Francesco on the cover.I read it and it brought tears to my eyes.Although Francesco was very young at the time I knew the day would come when I ,like "Mommie" would have to face the inevitable.Francesco died 2 weeks ago and I took the book "A Little Dog Like You" off of my bookshelf and read it again.
I was saddened to learn tonight that Rosemary Sutcliff had died in 1992 as I wanted to let her know how her book helped me to prepare for one of my greatest losses...Rosemary is with her Pippin I am sure .

Summary: Beautiful book, heartfelt story
Review: This little book is going to be (if not already) a well-sought after collector's item for any dog and/or book lover. Beautifully illustrated in a classic style, the book brings out the best about the love shared by dogs everywhere and their owners. It's a book about a little dog whose bravery and loyalty to his owner brings them together again. I have chihuahuas and I am involved in chihuahua rescue, so this book is especially meaningful to me. It's the only book I know of with a chihuahua as a character. But the story is universal and simple enough to be shared with a child. They don't make books like this any more.
