I love true stories that give encouragement to children (or adults) to persevere and not give up. This is an uplifting story about a boy and his dog, with the boy supporting the dog rather than the opposite as is true in most stories.

what a lovely book for children to think about the challenges that life can bring, with clear and easy to follow words and pictures it's an interesting and inspiring read.

This is an interesting story of a dog that didn’t give up. Grizzly was a large dog that got wobblers disease. He was paralyzed and and to learn to walk again. It’s a real life story of a family and a dog that fought hard for a running and playing friend. I love the sentiment in the story, but it is long and drawn out. It reads like a six year wrote it. However, the reader wants to know what happens in the end so they will keep reading. I love that they include pictures of the real Grizzly at the end.

I was not expecting such a heartbreaking story. I’m glad that Grizzy ended up with this particular family. I appreciated the happy ending, but the e-galley was tough to read. Overall, it was an ok book.
