Praise

“There is an aura of happy innocence–a kind of euphoria– pervading this book….Elder shows us humanity in its best light and we are uplifted.”  
—The New York Times

“It’s about hope, it’s about fear, it’s about triumph … I guarantee you, you’ll feel better about everything after you read this.” David Letterman

“This story takes place in the most familiar places – a doctor’s office, a family’s kitchen, a suburban high school, and the woods out back. It’s a modern-day myth that happened to be true. It’s a story in which wonderful things occurred because people believed in themselves and in each other. It’s a story about the power of love to change our world.”
—Caroline Kennedy
 
“A story of how healing the love of a pet can be and of faith that good things can still happen when people pull together – a true, feel-good read”
Patricia Cornwell, author of the Scarpetta series and dog lover
 
Huck is the Dewey of the canine world. The dog is a delight– even my cat Norton would have been charmed (after a hiss or two) — and the book itself is lovely and inspiring. I rate it 5 barks.”
Peter Gethers, author of The Cat Who Went to Paris and The Cat Who’ll Live Forever
 
“Janet Elder’s wonderful story of Huck reminds us that the best stories about dogs are really about people or, in this case, community. Few things in America these days can bring people together more than a shared love of dogs. Dogs enter our lives for all kinds of reasons, and Huck entered Janet Elder’s life for one of the most important. This is a wonderful story, gripping and heartwarming. And I can’t say I’ve ever read a dog story with a more meaningful or uplifting ending. You are likely to cry some happy tears.”
Jon Katz, author of Soul of a Dog: Reflections on the Spirits of the Animals of Bedlam Farm

“This dog story made me feel good about people, families, and New Jersey.”
Roy Blount Jr.
 
“Puppies have always been better than people. Now comes a book where a puppy makes people better people. Pet it, feed it, even read it. You’ll love it—and become a better person.”
Dan Jenkins, sportswriter/novelist
