5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful tale with great illustrations, February 11, 2001

This review is from: The Lighthouse Dog (Paperback)

Dean Griffiths, the illustrator, has done an incredible job depicting both the nobility and the potential goofiness of this breed! The story is very funny (although there is a harrowing rescue at the end) about an overgrown puppy adopted by an older lighthouse captain and his wife. The "puppy" proves to be a great deal of trouble because of his enthusiasm and his insecurity (he tries to send the lighthouse cat away because he's worried the people like the cat better) until he shows his true colors in a daring rescue during a storm. A fantastic book with a lot of whimsy and sincerity.
