Book Description

Publication Date: 2009

This GOLD MEDAL winner will make an excellent gift for that special someone in your life. It is a realistic fiction chapter book with a reading level appropriate for children ages 6-9 years old but can be enjoyed by readers well beyond that. It is about a 10 year old boy who gets his first puppy and learns what pet ownership is really about. The boy expresses many emotions throughout the book and in the end, the reader and the main character will connect. The boy's emotional outbursts will bring tears to the reader's eyes. The children will also love the photographs of the "real" puppies that are featured in "Who Rescued Who?" since it is based on the true story of a puppy. This story brings a child through the pet adoption process and responsibilites that go along with pet ownership. It also explains how one family deals with a pet being ill and ultimately the pet's death. Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is never easy, but by using this book, parents, grandparents, counselors, teachers, and even veterinarians now have a tool to help children deal with the death of a pet or loved one in a non-threatening way. "Who Rescued Who?" is a simple story, yet has the strength of a complex novel as it ultimately draws the reader in and becomes the book they do not want to put down. This is a "must read" for any child or family suffering from the loss of a pet or loved one, or for a family contemplating pet adoption.
