For Linda, the boundless joy of both breed and breeding triggered in her a lifelong love of Dalmatians.

Download or read book The World Through Dexter s Eyes written by Vickie Versace Mullins and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2017-02-16 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dexter comes into the world with many problems, and he turns his family's life upside down. Outside and lonely, he pulls the siding off the house, destroys the back door, chews up the cable wires and wood patio furniture. Inside, he does more of the same. He appears to not be trainable, so out of frustration, Mom contacts a dog whisperer who tells her Dexter died in a storm in a past life. And when he could not find his family on the other side, he grabbed the first body back, into the world, to try again. There is something very familiar about this story to Mom. Then again, maybe she just feels sorry for the poor deaf guy. Whatever, Mom has tremendous compassion towards Dexter, and there was never such a bond between master and dog; one so strong, he telepathically conveys his story, to her. This book is funny, sad, sweet and deep and a little inverted as it is from Dexter's point of view. For all his antics, he is redeemed as all he wants to do on this earth is love. And it isn't until he and Mom figure out the riddle the dog whisperer presented to them, that Dexter becomes the dog he was meant to be. Then miracles happen; grannies die, daughters go away to school, marriages fall apart, but love prevails.
