How can we make sense of acts of cruelty towards animals?

Sometimes a dog isn't just a dog--sometimes he's the glue the holds a whole family together. Mr. Mosely is a special dog. Not just because he's so big (he's part Great Dane.) Not just because he's all white (with one black spot under his eye and a heart shaped splotch on his chest.) Not just because he's clumsy, or because of tricks (he only knows one, and it's not very good.) He's special because he seems to know exactly what everyone in Corey's family needs, even when they don't know themselves. This is the story of Mr. Mosely, from his puppyhood to the last time he curls up on the back porch. It's the story of how sometimes a dog isn't "just a dog". Sometimes he's the glue the holds a whole family together.

A dog by any other name just isn't the same. But Dog is sure he deserves a more exciting name, and he sets out to prove it, much to the amusement of a cat named Midnight. In this warm and reassuring story, Dog reminds us all of the importance of being happy with who we are. Ages 2-6.
