As I was looking through the Flickr Commons, that picture said it all!<BR/>JChoy, I think you're right about man's best friend in books! It gives the reader's a security-blanket-kind-of-feel. Books:Because of Winn-Dixie, Thunder By The Sea, How To Steal A Dog, Old Yeller, Hank The Cowdog, Champ.<BR/>But cats are given bad character roles. Mysterious. Even myself, a cat owner, understands this. Books: Time Cat,Who Stole Halloween, Warriors, Snot Stew, Kat Kong.Amitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05488714964016111021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952341170762271655.post-25265699603449153332008-06-27T11:20:00.000-05:002008-06-27T11:20:00.000-05:00Very cute dog...is the dog in the book described l...Very cute dog...is the dog in the book described like the one you posted? Who doesn't love man's best friend? One of my teammates once said you could do a whole unit on a boy and his dog books.
