Synopsis

Are you a dog lover or are you looking for a gift for one? This unique book is perfect for those who believe in the "adopt don't shop" philosophy!

We love animals and are passionate about their care! Cosette & Henri were our sweet dogs for too short of a time! After rescuing them from a puppy mill when they were seven, we couldn't help but become inspired to share their story! We did it in a way that is child-friendly, focusing on how much they enjoyed their forever home. It is told from the dogs' perspectives by Joyce and beautifully illustrated by Luke.

The story begins with a fun day with their family. As the story progresses, Cosette and Henri reminisce about "how it used to be". There is a brief section on how terrible life was in the puppy mill, but then the story moves on to the happy day they were rescued! We like to call it the "Disney approach" to storytelling - it starts out happy, introduces a conflict, and then proceeds to resolve the conflict with a "happy ever after" ending!

Families, schools, and rescues can use this book to teach children about the joy of adopting animals. We designed the book so you can skip the more distressing part of the story. However, we encourage caregivers and teachers to use the book as an opportunity to talk with children about the realities of how dogs are sometimes treated.
