A heart
wrenching story about a dog named Toby trying to find a forever home. First born on a
farm with his mother and sister, but since the farmer was prejudiced against
white German Shepards,
was sentenced to death. He and his sister think they have been
saved by a lovely couple, but then given to another family. Toby learns
to love again after losing his sister and dealing with abuse. He is also
sure that he will never find a loving home, even after talking to the animals
that live nearby and befriending them. The author lets us know at the end that Toby's story is
based on real events, which makes it even more sorrowful, but yet happy when he
learns to love and be loved. This book would be great for upper middle
school or high school students, or any adult, but those that are highly
sensitive may want to avoid reading. I see this book as a way to help
others learn to love again after grief and abuse, but also that an animal from
a shelter can fill your house with love the same way as a breeder-bought
animal.
This book was given to me by NetGalley and Outskirts Press in
exchange of an honest review. Thank you G.A. Whitmore for writing an amazing
book!
