About
the Book
Owen and his dog, Sheepie, are best friends. They
like to play, take long walks, and chase each other in the yard. But Sheepie is
getting old. He can’t fetch a stick as quickly as he used to, and
sometimes Owen has to help him climb the stairs. Then one afternoon, Sheepie
falls asleep by the big oak tree and doesn’t wake up. Owen has to part
with his old pal, but his father helps him understand that Sheepie will always
be part of their happy memories. With warm, gentle watercolor-and-gouache
illustrations, this story teaches children about the feelings they have relating
to the loss of a beloved family
pet.
