A Dog’s Guide to Life, Lessons From "Moose"
Jack was a single father trying to make joint custody work for his young children and so he brought a spaniel puppy into their lives.  Initially, Moose helped smooth out the rough parts of moving between two homes.  For nine years, Moose was there with the family in good times and bad and, when he was gone, they realized the many life lessons they'd learned from him, beginning with #1: "Begin every day with excitement and anticipation."  If you've ever had a dog, you know they wake at the crack of dawn, ready for action and eager to seek out new adventures. Illustrations by Deb Hoeffner add to the impact of these “lessons.” For all ages.
