Sammy in the Sky

Sammy the best hound dog in the whole wide world loves his girl and she loves him. When illness cuts Sammys life short the girls family keeps his spirit alive by celebrating his love of chasing wind-blown bubbles keeping loyal guard at night and offering his velvety fur for endless pats and tummy scratches. Painter Jamie Wyeths illustrations - infused with his realist style and lifelong fondness for dogs - radiate the joy and sadness of every tongue-licking tail-wagging moment in this heartening and lovingly rendered story written by Barbara Walsh.
