There are two kinds of people in the world. Dog people and non-dog people. I used to be one of the non-dog people........and then one of my children brought home a lab mix puppy. I've been converted!!!!
This book is a must read for all people. It's a story about belonging. The Stray Dog was written and illustrated by Marc Simont. In reading the book jacket I learned that the story is actually based on a real life rescue of a stray by one of the author/illustrator's friends.
In the story a family goes for a picnic one Saturday and the children spend the day playing with Willy - a stray dog. Of course the children want to take Willy home with them at the end of the day, but Dad says no. The entire family has Willy on their mind all week long and the next Saturday they go to the park to "find" Willy again. Willy has already been found, by the dog catcher! The children succeed in bringing Willy home where he belongs.
