Some of the best dogs and cats I've had were rescued animals, so I had no trouble identifying with Jessie and her new friend Richard, an abandoned boxer that Jessie's mother found while shopping. With her dad gone away to work in another country for all but a few days each year, Jessie's life had little joy in it until Richard came into her life, when she learned how much happiness a dog can bring to a child. There's a special relationship and a bond that will be remembered long after the dog is gone.It's a heartwarming story that youngsters who have pets will understand, and those who don't yet have pets will look forward to the experience.
