Review by Pam Marr Rybinski
Sammy was “the best hound dog in the whole world.” He loved, protected, and joyfully played with his family until he became terminally ill. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Walsh has written Sammy’s story from the viewpoint of his forever human, portraying the strength of the connection between canine and child. A reading will most likely bring tears to your eyes.
Words and pictures combine to mirror the unselfish love that often exists between a dog and his humans. World-renowned artist Wyeth captures the closeness, warmness, and affection touchingly with his page-by-page illustrations. The book is a treasure for dog-lovers, both young and old.
