Editorial Reviews

Review

5/5 Stars "The Good Dog by is beautifully and adeptly designed to show the need for having compassion for others. It is a story that any young reader will have no trouble relating to. The characters are fun and authentic... this book will go a long way in helping young readers shift focus from themselves to people who are in need of attention and love. The illustrations are also well designed to give priority to and highlight each main character in the two sections of the book. The Good Dog is a must-read for everyone, especially young readers." - Reviewed By Edith Wairimu for Readers' Favorite

A Dog's Life Lessons from Aspen children's author Walker Jean MillsDog is man's best friend and, sometimes, a kid's best role model.
In her new children's book "The Good Dog," local author Walker Jean Mills offers a sweet and simple story aimed at young children about how dogs can teach us love, acceptance and compassion...The book aims to inspire readers to do good and simple things like comforting others, making people smile, being helpful and being inclusive.
"If a kid can take just one thing away, maybe to befriend somebody who doesn't have friends, to say a nice word to their parents, to listen to somebody who might be suffering ­-- if it helps one kid be kinder, then I think it's a success as a book," Mills said.

Blue Ink Review, Oct 2018
The Good Dog is a simple, sweet picture book that shows the ways children can learn life lessons from their pets and be inspired by them to help and care for others...
The narrative's language and syntax are clean, and younger readers and families will enjoy the story's appreciation of all pets do for their families...
the story is well-told, with a strong message about the inspiration pets provide to the families who care for them. Parents and children alike, particularly those with dogs of their own, will surely enjoy this touching offering.

From the Author

I hope "The Good Dog" will capture the heart of both children and adults, similar to my favorite children's book, "Love You Forever."
