The amount of freedom and determination Billy had was amazing.I’m not necessarily the world’s biggest dog lover (they’re okay), but I was taken with Old Dan and Little Ann. Billy is convinced that God helped him get his dogs, and on other occasions he speaks of miracles and Divine guidance. Neither has a truly happy ending it’s more bitter sweet, but then again, what childhood isn’t? It’s an older man, reflecting on his past, remembering something good - or eventful, a time that was better. It has a mood much like the movie of the Snowman.Maybe it would have been if I’d read it out loud. It was fourth grade (or maybe fifth), and I remember everyone (including the teacher) bawling at the end.īut, you know: it was sad, but not really a tear-jerker. That’s really the only thing I remember from the first time I came across this book.
Support your local independent bookstore: buy it there!įirst things first: I didn’t cry at the end this time. First sentence: “When I left my office that beautiful spring day, I had no idea what was in store for me.”
