A Puppy Named Cowboy

Beschreibung

Cowboy, an abused and abandoned puppy, is rescued by an unknown stranger. Told from a first person (dog, puppy) perspective, Cowboy shares his true story as he journeys from abuse and abandonment to rescue and love. Gently, in an age appropriate style, Cowboy shares with the young reader that his legs were injured because the mean people tied them together with ropes. His injured legs make it difficult for him to run or even walk. His tummy is empty, and he wishes he had good food to eat. He wants someone to love him. He hopes for a forever home. Children are invited through an, I Read, You Read format to come to Cowboy's rescue. Through the loving care of doctors and a foster mom Cowboy's body heals and he grows strong enough to walk and run. In a happy ending, Cowboy finds a loving family and his forever home.

Autor

Susan Arcé Gagnier lives on Amelia Island in Northeast Florida with her husband, Frank, and their three pups; Cowboy, Angel, and Arthur. Susan started telling stories to her children and later to her students, clients, family, and friends. Most enjoyed the stories and would often ask for more. "There is something very special," Susan believes, "about stories. Whether they be parables, fables, legends or stories, the time spent listening and enjoying can bring healing to the soul and rest to the body." "Some of my favorite memories include listening to or telling stories. I still remember sitting on my Grandfather Gampy's lap along with my sister, Gail, as he read, "The Night Before Christmas." My father would insist on taking home movies with a very bright light shining in our eyes. Gampy loved to tell us the story of how he became bald; I think it was somehow my grandmother's fault! I remember, too, my Irish-Scots father and his three brothers gathering to tell stories with all four brothers taking a part." "Although I greatly admire those whose ability it is to write books hundreds of pages long, it will never be my intention to write a lengthy novel. I simply wish to tell a short story and to tell it well." An avid reader, Susan's favorite authors are: George MacDonald, C.S. Lewis, Jan Karon, and Patrick Taylor.
