Dog Breath

by Carolyn Beck, illustrated by Brooke Kerrigan

tagged: dogs, death & dying
Description

A funny but heart-warming tribute to a child's memorable, mischievous dog.

A comfy dog bed, a red rubber ball, a favorite bone: a collection of images left behind stirs up memories, both poignant and humorous, of a child's best friend. This lovable, rambunctious dog will steal your heart just as easily as he once stole bites of food from the table or a whole birthday cake — candles and all — off the kitchen counter.
