A True Story of a Boy and His Dog, But Was It Just a Dog?

Have you ever been told a story that sounded too incredible to be true, but, at the same time, was just too sensible and down-to-earth not to be? Well, this is one of those stories! The author expertly navigates the reader through his early childhood struggles with polio and its lingering effects. With a domineering father who’s determined to reshape his son, by any means at his disposal, back into a normal child again, the young boy is, instead, driven into a state of hopelessness and despair. Seeing no way out of this sad and painful predicament, he has all but given up hope, until an adorable collie puppy wanders into his life. This changes everything for the child, as he’s finally given a reason to continue on. However, it seems the pup already belongs to another family, who lives a short distance from his, and they’re unwilling to relinquish possession of him. What results is an even tougher struggle for the boy, as he and the dog form an unbreakable bond. While failing to comprehend the dog’s real purpose, a series of astounding and miraculous events unfold, throughout their time together, until the reason for the dog’s mysterious entry into the boy’s life is finally revealed.
