language
(Xlibris Oct. 15, 2009)
Winston The Water Dog is a picture book based on the mostly true adventures of a boy named Josh and his first dog, a Portuguese Water Dog named Winston.
Set in Rhode Island, this charming story revolves around loyalty, companionship and the bond that develops between Josh and Winston. It portrays the trials and triumphs they face during their first year together, on the seashore, soccer field, and on their homemade hockey rink. It is a touching story about growing up and facing life’s difficulties – even if you are just a boy and a puppy.
There is a mythic component in the book, which tells the simultaneous tale of the water dog’s grandfather, Bravo, and who lives in a faraway land across the ocean. He reappears throughout the book as a figure of courage, whenever the little water dog becomes frightened.
The illustrations are beautifully rendered to capture the spirit of these two best friends.
