Inhaltsangabe

The story of a dog abandoned in the Arizona desert with six puppies. It tells how she kept them all alive until they were rescued by a sheriff's deputy, and how they lived in a jail cell with inmates who cared for them. A woman brings the little white dog home and soon the dog is a certified pet therapy dog working with children from backgrounds surprisingly similar to her own. A gentle, inspiring story that promotes not only a deeper appreciation for all animals, but also for each other. Includes an illustrated glossary, discussion topics, and information about pets.

Aus dem Klappentext

"I could not have slept tonight if I had left that helpless little creature to perish on the ground," said Abraham Lincoln, explaining why he'd stopped to place a baby bird back in its nest.There is something extraordinarily special about the animals with whom we share our planet -- from the majesty of elephants to the playfulness of chipmunks. Too often we become detached from nature, living as so many of us do in cities of concrete and steel. More than ever, we need the love of a companion animal -- the purr of a kitten, the kiss of a puppy.
