MEMOIRS OF A DOG, BY COUSCOUS MACKEY

This is a story of a couple of dogs and their other animal friends who get together after one of the dog's puppy is stolen. The puppy is found by a man who takes it home and his dog and cats care for it. The mom and dad of the puppy set up a network of animals to try to find her. The dad's human makes flyers and puts them up. The puppy's mom makes a wish on the first star she sees one night and just feels her puppy will be returned soon. The man who found the puppy brings home a flyer and the cat eats it. It's Christmas Eve and the man and his animals decide the right thing to do is take the puppy back to her mom and dad. There is a wonderful reunion with mom, dad and puppy. Kids will love the talking animals and the way all the animals work together to solve the mystery of the missing puppy. Not recommended for younger children due to excessive drinking, swearing and abusive behaviors by some of the human characters.

Magical things can happen to anyone, even to a dog. And, that is exactly what happens one late summer morning to Feathers, a purebred Pekinese.
