The Forever Dog

The Forever Dog

by Dan Andreasen (Illustrator), Bill Cochran (Author)

Synopsis

No one knows exactly what kind of dog Corky is, but if you ask his owner, Mike, the answer is simple: He's my dog.

Mike and Corky are best friends; they do everything together. In fact they even make a plan. Mike tells Corky that they will always do everything together--forever. It is their Forever Plan.

And it works well. From one year to the next Corky is right there with Mike. Until one day, when Mike comes home from school and Corky isn't there . . . The story of how Mike comes to accept Corky's death forms a simple, poignant portrait of a special friendship that both celebrates the joys of owning a pet and becomes a heartfelt guide for anyone who is coping with the loss of a loved one.
