|
One family, one neighborhood, one crazy dog. A warm, wonderful read, in this world of turmoil. Sandy the Yellow Labrador dog of the Hajinian's was a good dog. Most of the time. Sometimes she was a bad dog. Yes, like all dogs, she was hugable and attentive to her masters' emotional needs. But, Sandy wanted to visit the neighbors. Not just visit their yard, but open their screen doors and go inside. That's when the surprises begin. This book is a must for anyone who has thought about getting a dog, or who has a dog or anyone who knows what a dog looks like. Discover the comical events which shape a growing family and their dog. From championship sailing, entertaining the Armenian-American relatives to invading surprised neighbors' houses. Sandy will steal your heart, then the sandwich which you are eating. The book portrays the coming of age of a Midwest family and their dog, Sandy's movement from a terror puppy to the 'welcome wagon,' ever exploring, neighborhood dog. It takes a fun loving, smart dog to charm a family and ultimately, bring a neighborhood together. Using his keen impressionist painting skills, Garbo 'paints' with words a beautifully witty picture of raising his kids and eventually a yellow labrador dog named Sandy. In a hurting, serious world, this book restores faith in the goodness of family life and the neighborhood. $14.95 Available at fine bookstores everywhere | ||
