But one unforgettable day, Blue’s adventure takes an unexpected turn and he is all alone, far from his home. With time running out on Blue’s survival, the family must work together to find their lost dog.
This book is written for dog loving families.
~a note from the author A Squeaky Toy, A Leash, and A Prayer is an inspiring story of love, loss, adventure and faith in the life of my family and our young pup. The underlying narrative is relatable because it’s real. There is something about a vulnerable puppy that God can use to reconnect within us places of wounded disconnection. My family and I experienced that. My hope is that through the words and images readers will discover anew their loving God within the chapters of their own personal and family story.
