WILL LIGHT THE WAY TO FAITH, February 13, 2002
This review is from: Candle: A Story of Love and Faith (Paperback)
A basenji friendly household boasted of a pair of breeding basenjis and their two adorable puppies. The senior basenjis told their puppies the story of Candle, a basenji ancestor who really did show everyone the way.
An African breed that boasts of a more than 2,000 year history, the famed "barkless" dog (basenjis yodel and make laughing noises instead), these dogs were the loved pets of Egyptian aristocracy and nobility. The story of Candle takes place in Egypt.
A lovable young basenji named Candle is the adored pet in a royal household. Basenjis, naturally intelligent and curious were aware that something wonderful and miraculous was about to take place. The "basenji network" were aware that the days of excess and idolatry were soon to be challenged; a miracle was on the way.
Candle and her owner, a young Egyptian gentleman saw the Star shining brightly in the East and knew they had to follow it....
Readers will yodel with delight as well. This is truly a wonderful family bonding book and it is certainly a beautiful illustration of love and faith. I can't recommend it highly enough. I love it! The lovely illustrations and the gentle story will captivate readers of all ages.
Candle will light a path to the hearts of all who read her story.

Candle: a story of love & faith, November 24, 1999
This review is from: Candle: A Story of Love and Faith (Paperback)
I really think this is a sweet little book. We recently lost one of our Basenjis to cancer and we have had to talk to our 3 year old son about how dogs become angels and live in heaven with God. This book has helped with that. It's a good year 'round book, not just for the Christmas season.I would recommend it for all ages.
