It is a short story, but it is so tender that it deserves the 5 stars. I loved the story of Shep, and that is that animals deserve all the good things in this world, because they are the best. No one deserves to be hurt. I liked it even more when I reached the end and, seeing the biography of the author, I saw that it was his story.
It is a beautiful story for animal lovers and a good story for children, so they can learn the moral of how to treat animals.
Español
Es un relato cortito, pero es tan tierno que merece las 5 estrellas. Me encantó la historia de Shep, y es que los animales se merecen todo lo bueno de este mundo, porque son lo mejor. Ninguno se merece que le hagan daño. Me gustó aún más cuando llegué al final y, al ver la biografía del autor, vi que era su historia.
Es una historia preciosa para los amantes de los animales y un buen cuento para niños, para que aprendan la moraleja sobre cómo hay que tratar a los animales.

This was an interesting retelling of an event in the author's life on how he came to get Shep although retold by the viewpoint of Shep himself. Given to the goal of making this book one for children the usage of language reflects on very easy and somewhat childish in its usage so the adult reader may not feel too comfortably in their reading.
As for children the writing is easy enough to follow and understand so the story won't be too difficult to consume. They may have a bit of a problem understanding the hitting of the dog's head and teeth since that just seems a weird way of putting things altogether to begin with.
Definitely an interesting take of point but one that I wouldn't think about reading to my children, especially before bed since who wants to dream about not being wanted and being thrown out in the snow. Although the end turns out to be good it just doesn't seem bedtimish for me.

Sweet
I don't care that I am 58 in a few days; I love 💘 a happy ending bedtime story. With my cozy blanket, some hot English Toffee Coffee drink I sank into the comfy chair. My companion chihuahua, Foxy, sat beside me. She was ready for a bedtime 🌙 story. I read aloud and Foxy and I loved the story. Foxy told me so because she "talked" happily about Shep and the Happy Man.

Como cuento infantil le falta un poquito más de desarrollo en la trama, además de definir un poquitín más a los personajes.
Aunque entiendo que sea un cuento basado en la historia del autor y su perro, creo que se pudo crear una historia más detallada, para que sea más entretenido para los niños.

A very sweet little story. I give it two stars because the story is just a small part of the book, the rest is self promotion and samples of other books.

"A Great Bedtime Story for Kids"
This is a good bedtime story to read to children. It's very short, but just the right length for small children. Puppy Shep's first owners were Angry People -- angry with themselves and angry with Shep who always bumped his large head into them. They pushed Shep outside even at night in stormy weather. Where was the warm bed and loving master? The dog down the street, Ruby Girl, has a great home with Nice People. The Nice People, however, can only have one dog, but they did find a home for Shep with a Lonely Man who likes dogs. Living with Lonely Man, Shep has a warm bed, goes on long mountain walks, plays Frisbee, and even visits Ruby Girl. Soon, Lonely Man becomes Happy Man. Both Shep and Ruby Girl grow into large dogs and are well mannered. There is one good deed that Shep does that makes the Angry People wish they had kept him. This is a very short story, but read it to your children ... because, it's also a true story! As an added bonus, the author has a website where children can draw pictures of the characters and dogs of this story - www.shepdreamsofhome.wikispaces.com/ He also provides several chapters from his remarkable book, "The Little Universe" which is very interesting as to the creativity of a universe, evolution vs creation, and alien contact. Of course ... this is for adults with expandable thoughts.

I received a free kindle copy of Shep Dreams of Home by Jason Matthews from Amazon for fair review. This is a simple but hopeful, bedtime story. Every one (dogs included) want a home. I gave it four stars.
Shep was a clumsy puppy & had a big head with long teeth. He lived with the Angry People who didn't like it when he bumped them. They put him outside in the dark cold night.
He wanders down the street & meets Ruby. They become friends. He tries to fit in with Ruby's family & not bump them with his big head, but they can have only one dog. They introduce him to The Lonely Man. They befriend each other & Shep even gets to sleep in the warm bed with the Lonely Man. After Shep came to live with him, the Lonely Man became the Happy Man.
He & Ruby catch a Food Burglar at Ruby's home where they were having a party. The people realize the man is just hungry & invites him in to eat with them. This is a feel good story &

What a great ebook sharing Shep ' s beginning in life and from bad to a swell home!
I enjoyed this story of Shep ' s life from a bad home as a puppy to a wonderful and happy home life, no more angry people in his life and now a contented dog with a not so lonely puppy to a grown up dog now. So, for these reasons and a great short story, here is my honest review in return for a free ebook copy. That I wish to recommend for kids ages 3-10 &+ for anyone who enjoys sweet short but very good storyline. Super job Jason! By Angela L .

Fue muy lindo y dulce. Me imaginaba a mi mismo o a alguien mas leyendoselo a unos niños e incluso haciendo diferentes voces. Estaria muy bien para un picture-book o un corto animado.
Por cierto me encanto que estuviera "inspirado" en hechos reales aunque siento algo extraño sabiendo que Shep puede que ya no este vivo :/

Un cuento extremadamente corto, de solo unas pocas páginas pero cargado de ternura y de una verdad absoluta: Los animales son compañía, son amor y rescatados son lo más agradecido que hay. Me ha encantado esta historia y más aún cuando leí la biografía del autor, solo le tengo una pequeña crítica: fue muy corto!!!!! me hubiera gustado alguna aventura más de Shep.

I was very happy that Shep, a mixed-breed puppy, found a home with a caring man instead of the family that mistreated and ignored him, in this true story.
However, I was a little concerned about Shep's rather obese state in the cover photo. Obesity can be just as dangerous to pets' health as humans'.

ok I'm confused. The words are too big for a first reader, but it's written in an annoying simplistic style. A couple of scary things for a bedtime story, too! Funny typo: "The Happy Man took Shep home and made him a very special desert."

This was an okay story. Definitely meant to be a kids tale, I think. It wasn't terribly original, but it was cute. Not sure I'd recommend it, but if you like animals and kids stories, go for it. It's not bad, just not for me.

I liked the premise of the story (all but one of my pets have been rescues) but it was very wordy.

Very simplistic children's story. The writing style seems rushed and reads more like a reminiscent thought rather than a actual story.

Muy bueno
Es un cuento corto y agradable para leer a niños y perfecto para enseñar moraleja. Al menos a mi si me sirvió.
