If you have ever loved and lost your doggy best friend, don't read this... or maybe, do... but be sure to bring tissues.

Some really special gems in here. I adored the story of Sammy, and “The First Time Percy Came Back”. 

“Because of a dog’s joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift.”
