Summary:
A young boy finds a stray dog. He brings him home, but his mother said that he can not have a dog until he is grown up. They took the dog to the shelter. He came back for the dog a month later but he was gone. The new owners wrote him a letter and throughout his life they allowed the boy to come and visit the dog. Life got busy and he got to visit less and less. One day the elderly owners asked if he could take in the dog, for they are too old to care for him. Ecstatic the boy and do lived their lives out together.
Evaluation: This book is very simple to read, but the plot is kind of sad. The reader can use the pictures to convey more about the story, than the actual words say.
