SynopsisOne Christmas morning, while young Amish twins Henry and Harvey are sledding, they find a big black dog wandering in a field. They adopt the Newfoundland and name him Lucky, and he soon becomes their best friend and playmate. When tragedy strikes and Harvey drowns in a spring creek, Henry's only source of comfort is his furry companion. To make matters worse, the Depression is especially hard on Henry's parents who have more children than they can care for. He is sent to live with another family, where he becomes enchanted with Katie Stoltzfus. Eventually, Lucky passes away, leaving a hole in Henry's heart, and he wonders if he will ever find another friend as faithful and loving. As Henry grows up, he has other dogs, but none are as special as the Newfoundland he and his brother once cherished. When Katie marries another man, it seems Henry will never be happy again. Every passing Christmas reminds him of the people and animal friends now missing from his life. Though, no holiday story is complete without a miracle. In A Dog for Christmas , bestselling author Linda Byler delivers a beautiful Christmas story of quiet triumph in the face of lifelong adversity. After years of loneliness and longing, Henry is finally rewarded with a hard-won love, a family to call his own, and a new best friend. Could there possibly be a better gift than that?

Great Book For Dog Lovers..
I actually bought this book as a gift for my sister. I had bought a copy originally for myself because of the dog on the front cover! A Newfoundland! I'm a fan of Amish books, but the book wasn't focused on the Amish lifestyle/beliefs, as are many of Ms. Byler's books. This time the focus was on a boy and the dog that saved his life, on many different levels. Other than God's love for us, I believe that the love of a dog for 'his' special person, is the closest love that most people will find in life. No matter what, a dog will always love his master. Nothing his owner can do will ever change that deep, abiding love. I haven't said it very well, but the love of this Newfie dog for this boy, who grew into manhood, and the love of this boy for his dog, rivals many human relationships. I loved the book and have put it into my personal library. I enjoyed it tremendously.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
