Dog Heaven

by Cynthia Rylant

One Potato Review

No matter your religious persuasion, here is an enormously consoling picture for anyone who has ever lost a dog. With wide open fields for running, and geese who “honk and flap and tease”, and children – on bikes and sleds and throwing red rubber balls – plus a guest appearance by God in the guise of a little old man who seems to be trying very hard not to get in the way; it’s finally dogs who do the angels’ work.
