I saw this book featured in the AKC's Family Dog magazine a few months back and ordered two copies as soon as it hit the shelves. One for each of my cousins' new babies. I had to read it, myself, as soon as it arrived. The illustrations are fabulous, and, as an avid dog lover, the way the book begins and ends with two friends meeting, smiling at each other and "the sun comes out" and everyone's happy, brought me to tears. Such a sweet book for any child, but especially poignant for those of dog lovers.
I'm about to order two more for my own niece and nephew.
