But I'm not talking about this book's cover.A man named Jones, the custodian at an elementary school, was judged to be scary and even gave the dogs bad feelings based on his looks alone.By the end of the book, the reader will learn differently.If you are owned by a dog, you know that real dogs don't pay attention to a person's looks, the clothes they wear or the car they drive. Dogs aren't that shallow. They seem to have accurate E.S.P. They know who's trustworthy, though they might fear the vet who gives them shots each time they meet. (You should see my 85 lb black lab try to hide under a chair when our vet walks in the examination room. )The cast of characters is unique and well developed: personification at its finest. The plot rotates around half a letter found in a box of Christmas ornaments that leads the dogs to believe a child is in danger.And just who could be the culprit? Why the scariest man they know, of course!As the story progresses, the dogs' theory falls apart. Then REAL danger attacks our group of canines.We do attach too much goodness and beauty to looks, new clothes and flashy cars, just as fifty years ago people were judged by race. It's time to bury all those habits. True beauty is within and knows no race or age. Take the time to know people and you'll be surprised how filled with beauty this world of ours really is.
