Mister Dickens Alan Updyke

"Mister Dickens" Getting to know our dogs better: it's a relational experience that is completely unique, totally endearing, and one that will always endure. We will never forget our pooch friends. This is the true story of a family that reluctantly decides to take the plunge, to commit to a new puppy. In reading this book, you will share their happy and often troubling times, precipitated by the baby dog they appropriately name "Mister Dickens." Other key players in the script are the Old Man, Mother, and the Boy. Through their ups and downs, tests and trials, unique relationships form that are precious to each and revealing to the Old Man of lessons needed, perhaps intended, for all of humanity. A selfless love, so endearing that it cannot be squelched by disappointment, becomes the foundation of enduring friendships Mister Dickens forms with the individuals of his new family, uniquely applied to each. It's done in a way that only a dog can. "Through tears and laughter you will come to a greater appreciation of your companion pets." "Mister Dickens" offers insight for: what a puppy is thinking and feeling; timely advice and tips for training and providing for your new dog; and understanding of their caring hearts and healing for ours after they're gone, as we remember them once again with tears of joy in new hope. "You must consider the wisdom of this little book because... your dog is more special than you may know!" For Updyke's other works, visit UpdykeBooks.com.
