Have you ever thought of adopting a dog?If the answer is YES, then this book is for you!
The story is about a boy named Adam (that's me!) and a dog, Ramses (that's the Limpy Dog from the title, it's because he has a cute limp that makes him look like he's skipping when he walks), and how we've met each other. (SPOILER ALERT: it happened in an animal shelter, and, yes, Ramses is adopted!).
I'm not going to sugar-coat it--adopting a dog is a lot of fun, but also a big responsibility and the whole process hasn't been easy. The decision to adopt can be a scary one and my parents weren't so keen about it at first.
I remember having many questions: Are we going to become friends? Is he going to like me? Who's going to take care of him? And--are we all going to regret it?
You'll have to read the book to find out what happened, but if you ever thought about getting a dog (or a cat), read my story to find out if it
(ANOTHER SPOILER ALERT: The answer is a resounding YES! Everybody in my family fell madly, deeply and totally head over heels in love with the hairy canine who is now a member of our tribe; and we simply cannot imagine our life without him anymore.)
But if you want to know the whole story, you'll have to read it.
WARNING! This book contains content that goes straight to your heart, and may cause you to take actions with unforeseeable, long-lasting, life-changing consequences; like taking a dirty, stinky, and scared four-legged hairy canine (or feline) alien into your lovely home, resulting in hearts opened, minds changed, sofas damaged, homework eaten, floors dirtied, food stolen, shoes gnawed on, carpets puked on, lawns pooped on; but, also--hours of play, fun, and laughter, loads of snuggles and wet kisses, unconditional friendship and affection, and... love. CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED!
So, adopt, don't shop! (And buy this book today!)
