I am 99.9% sure I was a labrador in my last life: friendly, never says no to a morsel of food, and overall happy. Naturally, I own a big, loveable black lab. And when we read these books, we substitue the name "Sally" with our own lab's name.The art work is all done by hand --- wood carvings. The tale is simple --- enjoy life.
The more I read about Stephen Huneck, the more I was amazed at his work. He and his wife Gwen lived in Vermont. He was an artist and loved hand carving. You can find his web site on line and see just how much he loved dogs --- he actually built a Dog Chapel on his property!! Many, many people have visited to leave small tributes to their furry friends that have passed away. So sweet!!! Stephen's books and artwork are filled with fun and love. It came as a complete shock when I read that he had passed away from a self inflicted gun wound. I found myself feeling really, really sad that someone who gave such a lovely, hopeful message had felt that much despair. Please visit his site and find out just how talented this author/artist was. And when you enjoy one of these great books; savor the moment! :)
