Hero was having a perfect day, flying through the heavens with the other angel dogs. Perfect, that is, until he asked the Shelter Angel, who watches over all the animals that are up for adoption, if he could go back to earth and become a shelter dog. After all, he thought, what could be better than having a very special person choose you – out of all the other dogs – to come home and live with them?
Filled with beautiful illustrations, this simple book tells the story of an angel dog who comes back to earth to experience the joy of being adopted. He waits patiently in an animal shelter, hoping today will be the day his forever family finds him. But will anyone be able to see how extraordinary this old shelter dog, with the wobbly back leg, really is? Come join Hero on his journey home. This book is for those of you who believe

“The Shelter Dog is a wonderful story that will benefit many, and perhaps encourage giving ‘less than perfect’ shelter animals a chance. The illustrations were breathtaking and you captured his emotions so perfectly.
As a former shelter worker I could truly relate to Hero and as a current Humane Educator I appreciate the value in his story. I saw many dogs just like him and I applaud you for creating this book to share with others.”

Davis illustrates her book with magical, whimsical drawings that bring the reader right to the heart of the story. This is a true-to-life fairy story for adults and older children.
The Shelter Dog is a terrific gift for any animal lover, especially anyone who has adopted a dog or who loves an older dog.”Deborah Wood
The Oregonian"I was so moved by The Shelter Dog book (you must have stock in a tissue company!) My first dog, Mandy, was a shelter dog and our relationship spawned my passion for rescue work. I see her eyes in so many dogs I rescue ( I'm sure you've heard that from others and know what I mean yourself) that tears poured out when I pictured myself as the old woman in the story. Your books touch the inner heart...thanks for writing them!!!"

The Story of The Shelter Dog |
|
For author Christine Davis, writing a book about a shelter dog was inevitable. "One of the happiest days of my life," she says, "was the day I found my dog, Jake, at the local animal shelter. He proved what anyone who shares their life with a dog already knows…dogs are wondrous beings, made from love, fur…and a little bit of angel." "Jake now flies through the heavens, while Hero romps happily through the pages of my book. Both of these joyous creatures inspired me with their soaring spirits and hopeful hearts. It is to them, and to all the loving critters waiting in animal shelters for their forever families to find them, that I dedicate this book." "And to all the special people who care for animals in need…a heartfelt thank you! Whether you work alone, or with shelters or rescue groups, you are truly angels." Be a HERO – open your heart and home to a shelter animal. |
