Matthew Fox, an Anglican priest, writes about his companion: "We don't know who we are yet. Whereas Tristan is a dog — and he's good at it! He's close to the earth, he knows he's interdependent with it. He's kinda proud just to be here. These are all lessons he teaches me. What's his 'work'? His work is to hang around the house and sniff."
Many of us love puppies and dogs for all they are and show us about enjoying life. We can watch them for hours on end doing what they do best. Writer Laura Numeroff has created a very appealing portrait of puppies, conveyed through the frolicsome illustrations by Lynn Munsinger. On these pages we witness them climbing into beds, chasing a ball, digging holes in the yard, running around in circles, making friends with other puppies, getting cozy in their beds, and snuggling with us. They bring us joy and best of all — unconditional love.
