Sadie Dog is a great resource for parents of children with Down syndrome, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy and other special needs. School teachers will find Sadie Dog to be a fun and valuable tool when talking to their students about being kind to animals. This book would also be a great addition to any public library in the pet or special needs section.
Don’t give up on your pets and don’t give your pets up! I have always loved animals. Dogs, cats and horses have filled my childhood and adult life with joy and unconditional love. They are the best of teachers. One day, I realized my passion was something I had done all of my life…I love to help animals.
I wrote Sadie Dog in hopes that her story will encourage children to “never give up on their pets”, even if there is a little something wrong with them. Keep searching for ways to help your pet. Pets are living creatures not something to just throw away. My hope is to help animals by reducing the number of unwanted pets in our world. This is my way of giving something back to the animal world that has so enriched my life.
My thanks to Ms. Hoffman for her wonderful book, which helps children, appreciate the compassion, comedy and acceptance that our loving nonhuman friends teach us on a daily basis.
