    Jean Gnap

Throughout the story he strives to become a boy. “Maybe if I eat pizza I’ll grow up to be a boy, “ he hopefully says. But of course he does grow up to be a dog. However he is trained to become a special dog—a service dog for a Wounded Warrior. The message is “Accept who you are, but be the best that you can be.”P.S.

  • The Boy Who Wanted to Be a Puppy

    Valerie Ruth Cooper, Pastor David Burrows, Mrs. Shaquaya M. Morgan Sheaf

    Paperback (One Rib Publications, Jan. 1, 2006)
    This is a delightful fictional children's book with Christian and biblical precepts that would help parents or teachers to share simple life lessons with the children around them. It is 8x 5, in full color and perfectly bound. This story was based on my son who after reading all the new books we purchase, wanted to hear a new bedtime story. Then the words just came out and every night thereafter he wanted to hear that story again, and again. I wrote this book that all the children of the world may enjoy, be blessed and inspired by this book.
