How to Steal a Dog
Spring 2007 FictionIn spite of the possibly off-putting title, How To Steal a Dog contains a cast of charming characters: Georgina who although frightened of her new life, hasn’t lost hope to recreate her old one, Carmella, the sensitive, loving and now distraught dog owner, who gently forgives the dog stealers; Willy, the small dog with a big personality; and, Mookie, the wise man who helps Georgina understand that doing something wrong doesn’t help to solve the problems in her life. A story for readers ages 10-12 who are most likely themselves trying to figure out right from wrong.
