In "Zellwood: A Dog Story" Rebecca Stroud has created a story that is praiseworthy for both its unique narration and the emotional power of unfolding events.On the first anniversary of the death of their much-loved dog Jake, Laurie and Tim journey two hours to visit his grave at the pet cemetery in Zellwood. More importantly, they take their ten-year-old dog, Annie, who has been so different since the death of her friend.While this story is about the bonds of family and friendship, it is also about death and the process of moving on. Using her unique flair for colloquial language, Rebecca Stroud allows us to share this family's grief, closure and ultimately its renewed hope.A beautiful and healing tale, highly recommended for anyone who has ever loved and lost a pet.
