Surviving Henry: Adventures in Loving a Canine Catastrophe {Review}
This book is one of those make you laugh out loud as it brings back memories of those times with your own pets as they grew up. I love the syndrome she bestows on her dog as the Supreme Dictator of the Universe… we have had a couple of the same in our family.
Having had a dog flunk out of obedience school, I can relate to the antics and challenges faced with Henry. But what a story of love, patience and commitment to family is shown in this book. It would make a great read aloud or family reading time book. I wouldn’t read it for bedtime as you will have everyone in stitches instead of lulling to sleep.
Book Description:
You don't always know what you're getting into when you bring home a puppy. Enter Henry, a boxer who suffers from Supreme Dictator of the Universe Syndrome. He vandalizes his obedience school, leaps through windows, cheats death at every turn, and generally causes his long-suffering owner Erin Taylor Young to wonder what on earth she did that God would send this dog to derail her life.
Through his laugh-out-loud antics and escapades, Henry will steal readers' hearts. Anyone who has ever owned a dog, especially a canine catastrophe like Henry, will enjoy this lighthearted book about a dog who brings new meaning to the concept of unconditional love.
