Childre's uplifting, charming short story


Dedicated to the animals who have a special role in this world. This charming story follows Walter, an adorable black Labrador mix, who finds himself at an Atlanta, Georgia dog pound waiting for his forever family.
Walter is an emotional, illuminating and uplifting story of one dog's journey towards love, trust and his forever home.


The story is well crafted and gives those of us who have adopted dogs - or those who are thinking about adopting a dog - an important perspective in how much adoption matters and the lives that are changed (not just the dog's) when they are rescued. The BH¿¿¿¿


This heartfelt kids book is told through the perspective of Walter the dog.


The story is emotionally light and approachable, and this also help keeps the focus on the point of the story. Which is that all animals deserve to be loved and live their lives to the fullest.


Black and White illustrations, help readers connect with the story. It is an easy read, and there is a Spanish version provided as well. This can be beneficial for young children who are learning another language or for Spanish speaking people. My favorite part of this wonderful book is that it is inspired by a real story


Highly recommend.
