Children and their parents are encouraged to read about the author's own experiences with the loss of her much loved dog, Ben. She takes the reader on a poignant journey to understand the lessons that pets can teach us while they are living, and long after they die. Rather than focus on the death itself, Johnson gently asks the reader questions about the life and times of their dog. By the time the children and their families have completed this book, they will have processed some of the pain associated with the loss of their dog, and they will have created a beautiful keepsake journal and scrapbook about them.
