5. American Eskimo Dog
nose pressed against the inside of the car window, I smiled just knowing that she'd be waiting for me when I got home. As I grew up, our friendship grew too. I told Penny everything. She was a great listener. She didn't have a huge vocabulary, but her eyes and tail wags spoke volumes. I know in my heart that Penny is in heaven, waiting for me, alongside several other dogs I have loved and said goodbye to over the years—Max, Maddie Anne, and Miller. My love for dogs has been a lifelong love affair. We've always had a dog or two in our home, and we always will. I'm guessing you love dogs too, or you wouldn't be reading this book. Dogs are the most amazing creatures, aren't they? Dogs love us when we are at our best, and even when we are at our worst. And they seem to bring out the best in us. We can learn a lot from our canine companions as you'll see in the pages of this book. My coauthor Wendy (also a major dog lover) and I hope that you'll discover some interesting facts about the many breeds covered in this book, as well as be encouraged to grow closer to God. We have included a few features to make it easier to use this devotional:
● Unleash the Truth is your key Bible verse for the day. You might even want to memorize it. ● Digging Deeper is a section with some questions to ask yourself or maybe even answer in your journal. ● Fido 411 features a fun or interesting fact about that particular breed. ● Weekly Tail-Waggers challenge you to think more deeply about what you've just learned and actually put those lessons into action.
Whether you have your own dog to love or you love puppies from afar, we pray that you enjoy this journey of paws-itivity with us. �
