Duffy: The Tale of a Terrier
When a rescue dog named Duffy arrives in Heaven, neither limitless bowls of chow nor bottomless barrels of rawhide can take away the longing for his ''folks'' back home. Then he meets Rex, a literary easterner of the Boston Terrier persuasion, who encourages Duffy to write his life story.
From a harrowing start in a hayloft, to a prolonged stay in a shelter, to his new life with an adoring childless couple, from puppyhood to neuterhood and beyond, Duffy relives his tale through the written word with the help of his new cultured friend. But how do two dogs - let alone two no longer even residing on earth - find a publisher?

I loved this enchanting book! The book is written as seen through the eyes of the author's late shelter dog "Duffy" and chronicles the various experiences the dog goes through in his life with his "folks". Because I share my life with a dog,I found myself smiling and laughing throughout the entire book as I could clearly relate to many familiar experiences Duffy talks about. I found the book great fun and enjoyed the creative illistrations. I highly recommend this book and plan to buy it for gifts.

This book was an interesting book. It was filled with sad and happy stories which makes it good. I like how the story was wrote. The dog was in heaven and then tells its story of when it was alive. The stories of the dog were detailed and well thought out. All in all this book was good.

The book is about a dog named Duffy who wakes up after he dies meeting another dog in heavan named Rex. Who recomends him after him worring about his owners are feeling after his death to write his story down on paper of his enitre life for it can be published. For maybe his owners can read this and feel comfort knowing he's still there with them.
