A Dog Named Christmas
review 1: This continuing story of Christmas, the rescue lab, and Todd, his owner is heartwarming. Greg Kincaid is an advocate for the humane treatment of animals, and his emphasis on the need for homes for shelter pets is inspirational for anyone who loves animals.Todd's journey as he comes of age, falls in love and has to rethink his employment goals is wonderful, too. His parents want to protect him because of his disability, but also recognize and respect his need to grow up and be independent.This is a nice, cozy read with great characters, both human and animal alike!
review 2: I really got into this story and enjoyed every minute of it. It brought to my mind how those with disabilities can work to overcome them and function in society smoothly. It also showed me
... more how much work it takes to do so. I love how the town’s people are so supportive and work together. This is a story of perseverance and unconditional love both between people and their faithful canine companions. Todd is brave, tenacious and hard-working which pays off in the end. As a mother, I feel for his parents and how they want him to succeed and yet are apprehensive at letting him do so for fear of him getting hurt. The fantastic ending is full of mixed emotions.I thoroughly enjoyed the service dog portions that describe in detail how a service dog works and is trained. This book is good for everyone and is appropriate for tweens and above. less
